Profiles in Stewardship: How California Farmers and Ranchers are Producing a Better Environment

Across the Golden State, California farmers and ranchers are increasingly recognizing their responsibility to contribute to a healthier environment.

This portfolio of profiles compiled by American Farmland Trust showcases outstanding real-world examples of environmental stewardship by California farmers and ranchers. These are stories of farmers, ranchers and families that have undertaken significant efforts to increase conservation practices within their operations.

In a world where consumers increasingly care about how and where their food is produced, better stewardship practices are key to enhancing the California agricultural brand. California farmers and ranchers must be ready to rise to the challenge. We believe these stories will inform and inspire others, in addition to providing the general public with a stronger connection to their local farmers and ranchers.

Profiles contain direct website links to the farms and ranches, in addition to acknowledging the partners and resources that made these stewardship practices possible. Get to know your farmers and ranchers. Learn how they are helping to create a more sustainable future.
