Abstract
HEART is a university‐led alliance of institutions, agencies, and industries committed to voicing the needs of the states in the central land area of the US and advancing research to develop innovative environmental solutions that strengthen communities and support policymakers to improve the lives and livelihoods of people across the Heartland. The Heartland is the “Breadbasket” of the Nation and home to the nation's largest aquifer and largest river basin. However, the Heartland is highly vulnerable to the impacts of our changing environment. HEART aims to leverage and amplify the existing strengths of the members to develop robust, open, transformative solutions for mitigation of and resiliency to environmental changes threatening the region's water, food, and energy security. We are excited by the possibilities of HEART and welcome further engagement and suggestions.
Institutions and stakeholders in the region are establishing the Heartland Environmental Alliance for Resilience and Transformation (HEART) ( http://heartaliance.org/ ) with the goal of developing innovative solutions that help make communities across the Heartland more resilient to environmental changes that threaten the region's water, food and energy security.
