State lawmakers create Healthy Soils program, pass historic climate bills<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

SACRAMENTO \u2013 Farmers and ranchers throughout California commend the legislature for its recent actions on climate change. The passage of key climate bills, alongside the appropriation of more than $65 million for climate-smart agriculture programs, will provide needed resources for farmers and ranchers to address a changing climate.<\/p>\n

\u201cFarmers have a lot at stake in a changing climate as our extreme drought reminds us,\u201d said Tom Willey at T&D Willey Farms in Madera. \u201cWe experience the impacts of climate change on our farm every day. I commend the California legislature for continuing down the path of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and investing in the continued success of California agriculture.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, legislators passed a pair of budget bills (AB 1613<\/a> y SB 859<\/a>) which include $65 million for programs that provide resources for growers to lower greenhouse gas emissions, store carbon in soils and offer multiple benefits to agricultural producers and the environment. The budget allocation includes $7.5 million for the new Programa de suelos sanos<\/a>; $7.5 million for the State Water Efficiency and Enhancement Program<\/a>; and $50 million for the Dairy Methane Program. Also funded separately with a continuous appropriation is the Programa de Conservaci\u00f3n de Tierras Agr\u00edcolas Sostenibles<\/a>, a farmland conservation and climate change program.<\/p>\n

Since 2014, $130 million in state funding has financed more than 400 projects that improve on-farm water use efficiency, conserve agricultural land at risk of development, and reduce dairy methane emissions. These programs are among the first in the country to recognize that agriculture offers significant climate solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany farmers really want to reduce water use and greenhouse gas emissions, but we need programs like these to adopt new practices,\u201d said Judith Redmond, co-owner of a diverse organic farm in Guinda. \u201cThese programs will surely end up being good for everyone in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The newly created Healthy Soils Program will reward growers who employ multi-benefit practices that treat their farms and ranches as carbon sinks. SB 859 sets program parameters and updates the Environmental Farming Act of 1995, which guides the Department of Food and Agriculture\u2019s work on these issues. The leadership of Senator Lois Wolk (D \u2013 Davis)\u2014who authored multiple bills over the years to create a state climate change and agriculture program, including SB 1350<\/a> (2016) and SB 367<\/a> (2015)\u2014was critical in the establishment of the Healthy Soils Program.<\/p>\n

With the passage of SB 32 and AB 197 last week, the legislature re-affirmed the state\u2019s commitment to reducing emissions through 2030 and sent a clear message to California\u2019s 76,000 farms and ranches that their help is needed in the fight against climate change.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe legislature\u2019s action can help us pull carbon out of the air and reduce the impacts of climate change,\u201d said Greg Rawlings at Jacobs Farm\/Del Cabo Inc. in Pescadero.\u00a0\u201cOur farm\u2019s livelihood and California\u2019s ability to continue to be a leader in world food production is threatened if we don\u2019t act now on climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe work with farmers and ranchers who demand action on climate change,\u201d said CalCAN Policy Director Jeanne Merrill. \u201cThe Governor and the Legislature\u2019s actions this week will further empower farmers and ranchers to develop needed solutions to the climate crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n
