    The Economic Contribution of Agriculture to the Utah Economy in 2014 Ruby A. Ward Professor Karli Salisbury Research Assistant Dept. of Applied Economics Utah State University UMC 4835 Logan, UT 84322-4835 Prepared for Utah Department of Agriculture and Food Utah State University Economic Research Institute Report #2016-01 October 2016 Situation • The study of the economic contribution of agriculture to the Utah economy defines agriculture as the combination of the agriculture production sectors (NAICS codes 111, 112 and 115) and the agriculture processing sectors (NAICS codes 311 and 312). • Our economic analysis captures the direct sales (output) of agriculturally oriented businesses within the state, as well as the indirect and induced (multiplier) effects of these expenditures. Analysis was conducted using Version 3 of the Impact Analysis for Planning (IMPLAN) model and its 2014 database. • In 2014, production agriculture, including farming, ranching, dairy, and other related support industries, accounted for over $2.4 billion in direct output (sales), with a total of $3.5 billion in total economic output after adjustment for multiplier effects. - Based on Utah’s 2014 Gross State Product of $140 billion, production agriculture directly accounts for 1.7% of total state output and accounts for 2.5% with multiplying effects. - The production agriculture sector directly employs 18,000 people in either full or part-time positions. When including the multiplying effect, production agriculture accounts for roughly 26,000 jobs with an income compensation of $583 million. • Total direct output by the agricultural processing sector was approximately $10.7 billion in 2014. • The agriculture processing sector and the production agriculture sector combined account for $21.2 billion in total economic output in Utah after adjusting for multiplier effects.

  • Collaborative Development of Narratives and Models for Steering Inter-Organizational Networks Philip C
    Collaborative Development of Narratives and Models for Steering Inter-Organizational Networks Philip C. Emmi, Craig B. Forster, Jim I. Mills, Tarla Rai Peterson, Jessica L. Durfee and Frank X. Lilly University of Utah College of Architecture + Planning 375 S. 1530 East, Room 235 AAC Phone: 1-801-581-4255 Fax: 1-801-581-8217 [email protected] Abstract The power to direct and manage change within metropolitan areas is increasingly dispersed among a loosely interconnected set of mostly local organizations, agencies and actors that form a special type of urban inter-organizational network. Increasingly, the quality of metropolitan regional governance depends upon IO network capacity to articulate systemically insightful urban development strategies, i.e., to exercise a capacity for network steering. We outline an IO network steering capacity-support process that combines collaborative learning, narrative storytelling, and system dynamics modeling with the goal of deepening insights into urban human/biophysical processes and securing greater resilience in metropolitan regional governance. Our process promotes comprehension of complex urban processes through stories about past trajectories and future growth scenarios that frame issues within collaborative learning workshops for deliberation by local opinion leaders. This initiative is part of a larger research study on greenhouse gas emissions in relation to human and biological activities within metropolitan areas. Keywords: Collaborative learning, narratives, system dynamics, steering inter- organizational networks Introduction As our conception of government and its capacity for societal guidance changes, so too, does our approach to planning and decision-making. Increasingly, we recognize that the power to guide and direct change is dispersed among a variety of loosely interconnected organizations, agencies and actors.
