The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) is a nonprofit organization that puts rigorous, independent science into action. UCS advocates for multibenefit land repurposing in California’s agricultural regions, which turns irrigated cropland into sustainable land alternatives that help the environment, economy and community wellbeing. We developed an educational video game (Common Ground) which simulates multibenefit land repurposing planning in a multiplayer setting and encourages players to strategize how to bring the most benefit to their town.
