How do cover cropping and compost application impact yields? What resources exist to implement carbon farming and other conservation practices on your farms? Learn from Greg Pennyroyal of Wilson Creek Winery and Lance Anderson of Mission Resource Conservation District about the role vineyards might play in building a more resilient agricultural economy.
In the last 10 years, San Diego County has taken more than a million trees out of agricultural production...and yet, our state-mandated Climate Action Plan calls for tree planting as our primary mitigation strategy. Can we resolve this disconnect with a solution that compensates farmers for their environmental services of sequesting carbon? And, can carbon farming methods improve agricultural yields? During this field day we'll discuss pragmatic policies and practices that can make San Diego's most significant crops resilient enough to withstand the challenges of the future. Hosted by Greater San Diego Resource Conservation District and the Pauma Band of Luiseno Indians.
