Small grants (up to $25,000) to support professional development opportunities in sustainable agriculture targeted primarily to agricultural professionals such as extension staff, nonprofits, state and federal agency staff, PCAs/CCAs, etc. are available from Western Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education of California. Farmers and ranchers may be included but should not be the primary audience.
The goal of the WSARE California program is to increase the capacity of agriculture professionals who work in California to apply the principles of sustainable agriculture while working with their clientele (farmers, ranchers, consumers, youth, businesses, government or communities).
