Photo Credit: Department of Conservation<br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Has Changed \u2013 Historical Funding and the Current Budget Proposal<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2015, SALC has received 10% of funds allocated to the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program (AHSC) through Cap and Invest\u2019s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF). The AHSC program has a statutory goal of protecting agricultural lands in support of infill development, which is accomplished through SALC. In 2025, California enacted SB 840, which allocated $800 million annually to the AHSC account at the Strategic Growth Council, which, under the prior agreement, would have allocated $80M annually to SALC. However, the Governor\u2019s Budget Proposal is currently silent on the amount of funds dedicated to SALC.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SALC\u2019s Impact on Farmland Conservation and GHG Reduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The SALC program is the third most cost-effective greenhouse gas reduction program in the state out of ninety programs funded through GGRF.\u00a0\u00a0<strong>SALC is responsible for 15% of the GGRF\u2019s total emission reductions despite historically receiving only 2% of its funding.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Continued SALC Funding is Also Critical for the Next Generation of Farmers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Agricultural land values in California continue to climb. According to the 2025 National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Annual Land Values Survey, California has the fourth-highest farmland prices in the nation, averaging $13,700 per acre\u2014a 37% increase since 2020. These high land prices make it extraordinarily difficult for beginning farmers to purchase land and for the next generation of farmers inheriting land to pay property taxes. SALC mitigates these issues by funding conservation easements, which reduce the price of farmland by removing the land\u2019s development rights and speculative development value in perpetuity. The one-time infusion of capital that the purchase of an easement provides to a landowner can also be critical for paying down debts and investing in much-needed infrastructure upgrades. To ensure agricultural land ownership and secure land tenure remains accessible to future generations, the state must continue supporting programs like the SALC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SALC Program continues to be oversubscribed: in 2025 alone, demand for the program was&nbsp; $212 million, far outpacing the $130 million in available funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We are urging the legislature to maintain SALC\u2019s Cap and Invest funding and are requesting $90M annually to meet increasing funding demands for the program. We encourage you to read CalCAN and AFT\u2019s letter to the legislature, which you can view and sign onto\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/u\/0\/d\/1FViaxCnal5IeZEk_gbsKi4tuCnq3ItPmtiu1MWrwwh4\/preview\"><strong>using this\u00a0form\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><strong>by 5pm on April 1st.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you or your organization are interested in signing on to our letter to the legislature, or otherwise getting involved in protecting SALC, please reach out to Anna Larson at anna AT calclimateag.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>https:\/\/sgc.ca.gov\/meetings-events\/council\/2023\/12-14\/docs\/20231214-8_SALC_Staff_Report_Round_9_Awards.pdf\u00a0\u21a9\ufe0e<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>https:\/\/ww2.arb.ca.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/auction-proceeds\/cci_annual_report_2025.pdf\u00a0\u21a9\ufe0e<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation (SALC) Program, created in 2014, was the first program in the country to invest in farmland&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":24099,"comment_status":"closed","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":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[680],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-policy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
