Agriculture plays a prominent role in Southern California, holding significant economic, cultural, ecological, and historic value.
The Climate Science Alliance team is working collaboratively with various partners in the region to elevate the role of local agriculture as part of our region’s climate solution and taking actions to test strategies and educate youth and the public on our local food system.

From the Ground Up:
A series of Farmer Profiles
As part of the on-going efforts of the 2020 Climate Change Consortium for Specialty Crops, we are excited to share a series of producer stories highlighting our region's producers and the important work they do in our communities. These stories illustrate what it means to be a farmer in southern California, and the challenges and opportunities for advancing climate resilience.
