The PIE Center partnered with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Florida Farm Bureau and Florida Dairy Farmers to explore residents’ perceptions of agricultural water use and how the organizations could best communicate with the public. PIE Center researchers distributed an online survey to Floridians at least 18 years old and older, as well as local government officials such as city and county commissioners and managers, mayors and city clerks.
