California Climate & Agriculture Network | Advancing policy solutions at the nexus of climate change and sustainable agriculture

The California Climate and Agriculture Network (CalCAN)
is a coalition that advances policies to support
California agriculture in the face of climate change.

We believe that agriculture can play a constructive role in responding to the

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.

	Policy Initiatives Advancing policies that support and encourage farming and ranching practices that have climate benefits and other environmental co-benefits.
