Body

• Agroecosystem research often focuses on biophysical processes and productivity without incorporating human dimensions research and/or stakeholder engagement. • Connecting individual and community well-being to agro-innovation research is required for agro-ecological transformation to sustainable intensification. • Long-Term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) Network sites have historically had varied degrees of human dimensions research within their research plan; however, LTAR's human dimensions capacity has grown. • To capitalize on this capacity, we propose a four-step framework for the LTAR Network to evolve a cohesive human dimensions strategy that brings together the social and ecological. • Continued institutional support is required to maintain and further pursue research that will support stakeholder co-developed science that facilitates agroecosystem transformations benefiting society. © 2021 The Authors The Rangelands archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
