The California Climate and Agriculture Network (CalCAN) is a coalition of sustainable agriculture and farmer member groups. We advance policies that support sustainable agricultural solutions to a changing climate. Agriculture can play a constructive role in responding to the climate crisis by reducing its carbon footprint and thus help to ensure the long-term viability and security of our food and farming system.
Our Program Areas
Farmer Education & Outreach – Providing resources to farmers and ranchers on the impacts of climate policy on California agriculture, and the science of the climate benefits of organic and sustainable practices.
Network Building – Expanding the CalCAN network of farmers, scientists, government agency staff, and advocates to cultivate communication and understanding of agricultural solutions to climate change.
Policy Initiatives – Advancing policy initiatives that improve agricultural research as well as technical and financial assistance to farmers and ranchers to support climate-friendly farming and its multiple economic and environmental benefits.
