As a coalition of sustainable and organic agriculture organizations, we rely on a formal group of 17 <a href=\"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/es\/advisors-partners\/\">farmer advi<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/es\/advisors-partners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"s (opens in a new tab)\">s<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/es\/advisors-partners\/\">ors<\/a> and hundreds others throughout the state informally to inform and advocate for farmer-friendly policies that work on the ground. For the last ten years, CalCAN has worked to build bridges between farmers and policymakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Divide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But with more than 4 in 5 Californians living in urban areas, we know that agriculture may not readily surface as a priority for discussion at the tables of all of our state representatives. Adequately addressing the climate crisis will require agricultural solutions on the state\u2019s vast network of natural and working lands. So we\u2019ve decided to get creative about building bridges between farmers and policymakers because we also know that many urbanites care deeply about the success of California\u2019s farmers and ranchers in the face of climate change and would like the opportunity to engage in policy change to support them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building Bridges: Educating Urban Legislators about Agriculture and Climate Change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To double down on efforts to educate rural and urban policymakers alike about the state\u2019s opportunities to invest in shovel-ready climate solutions, we set up a series of meetings this spring to connect legislative offices and their constituents in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elizabeth Bowman, with the Sustainable Economic Enterprises of Los Angeles, or <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/seela.org\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\">SEE-LA<\/a>, recently joined us highlight the importance of investing in California\u2019s farmers and ranchers through the state\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/es\/climatesmartag\/\">Agricultura clim\u00e1ticamente inteligente<\/a> programs for staff in the Los Angeles offices of Senator Holly J. Mitchell and Assemblymember Reggie Jones-Sawyer. As the SEE-LA Director of Farmers\u2019 Market Operations with SEE-LA, Elizabeth is directly invested in the livelihoods of many farmers. She is concerned about the impacts of climate change on her vendors, saying, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;One heat wave can wipe out an entire crop, meaning there is less food available at the market.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>SEE-LA\u2019s mission is to build sustainable food systems and promote social and cultural activities that benefit both low-to-moderate income residents of Los Angeles while also supporting California small- and mid-sized farms and local small businesses. Attending legislative meetings to advocate for Climate Smart Agriculture investments was an avenue for Elizabeth to act on her concern and simultaneously help fulfill SEE-LA\u2019s mission to support California farmers. After the meetings, Elizabeth reflected: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThank you for merging the conversation between healthy soils and the city, and working to dismantle the urban\/rural divide.

Aside from their direct involvement in these agricultural operations, since 2009 Planting Justice has worked with five high-schools to develop food justice curricula, created 40 green jobs in the food justice movement for folks transitioning from prison and facing other barriers to employment, and built over 450 edible gardens in the San Francisco Bay Area.
