This is required when taking on climate change. Steve directed the research that led to CDFA\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/es\/salcp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation grant program<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by quantifying the greenhouse gas emissions associated with urbanizing farmland. In Yolo County they found that an acre of urban land emits 70 times more greenhouse gases compared to an acre of irrigated cropland. During our conversation, he focused on the importance of pairing conservation projects at the urban edge with new farmer training, enhanced farm to school relationships, incentives for urban infill, and stronger linkages between urban communities and agricultural production.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Wendell Gilgert<\/h2>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15449 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/51162718820_a3bc0b71bc_c.jpg?resize=300%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/51162718820_a3bc0b71bc_c.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/51162718820_a3bc0b71bc_c.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/51162718820_a3bc0b71bc_c.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wendell, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/partnersinflight.org\/awards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">life long conservationist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> recently retired, also emphasized the importance of deepening our urban-rural connections, noting that most people haven\u2019t witnessed the cycle of life and death. After 45 years of working in conservation, Wendell shared that to him stewardship is another word for passion. While at Point Blue he worked with hundreds of ranchers to regenerate and monitor the health of their rangeland using indicators like bird diversity, soil properties, percent invasive species in the forage and others. The data and empirical evidence are key, but he considers cultivating an ethic of land stewardship \u201cheart work\u201d and aims to engage people on an emotional level, which is what he observes in ranchers as a driving force. Wendell also shared with us that while 15% of CA used to burn each year, the location and intensity are now different. We need to learn from our history and from indigenous practices including fire management to continue promoting the good work Devii discussed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thread that emerged from this rich conversation is that political power must be used to make agricultural land accessible to young people going in to farming. By tending specifically to the land at the urban edge\u2014whether that means growing vegetables, grazing animals or introducing \u201cgood fire\u201d\u2014we can reap multiple benefits like producing food, buffering our communities from extreme weather and climate emergencies, and promoting opportunities to learn about and cultivate an ethic of stewardship among urban and rural dwellers alike.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We hope you join us to learn more about our advisors each month.<b>\u00a0<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_0OcE4wpkQk6m59verOZa1Q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Register here<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In September, CalCAN kicked off a new virtual conversation series with our advisors, who are farmers, ranchers, scientists and technical assistance&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":15451,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[682],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-people"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Meet our CalCAN Advisors | CalCAN - California Climate &amp;
