SUMMARY:CalCAN Conference
DESCRIPTION:California Agriculture & Climate Conference\nNovember 9\, 2026 | 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM\nDoubleTree Fresno \n  \n8:30 – 10:00 AM      \nWelcome & Opening Remarks \nMeeting Challenges with Innovation: Valley Farmers Discuss the Economics of Climate Smart Agriculture \n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM     WORKSHOPS \nAlternatives to Agricultural Burning: What’s Working and What’s Needed  \nIn 2025\, a near-total ban on agricultural burning took effect in the San Joaquin Valley to improve air quality. Meanwhile\, state incentive funding to support farmers in adopting alternatives has dwindled. How are farmers—particularly orchard and vineyard managers—adapting? What alternatives are available and cost-effective for different farming systems\, scales\, and regions? What are some of the benefits and constraints of these alternatives? What other alternatives may be on the horizon? Join us to hear farmers’ and researchers’ perspectives on these questions and to learn more about alternatives\, including: chipping and mulching\, whole orchard recycling\, composting\, air curtain burners\, biochar\, bio-energy\, and bio-based products. \nSpeakers: Stephanie Bolton\, PhD\, Grower Research & Education Director\, Lodi Winegrape Commission; Christine Gemperle\, Almond Farmer\, Gemperle Orchards; Brent Holtz\, UC Orchard Systems Farm Advisor\, UC Agriculture and Natural Resources; Cynthia Ni\, Director of Innovation Programs\, BEAM Circular\nModerated by Gabriele Ludwig\, Director\, Environmental Policy\, Almond Board of California \nWorking with your GSA to Support Cover Crops: Strategies from Valley Farmers  \nAgrivoltaics: A “Both/And” Solution to the Farmland vs Solar Conflict?  \n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM      \nIt Takes a Village: Farmer and Farm Advisor Networks \nThe Power of the Purse: Local Markets for Organic and Climate Smart Products \n12:00 – 1:30 PM LUNCH \n1:30 – 2:45 PM     WORKSHOPS \nManaging Almond Production to Optimize Climate Resilience  \nHow Can Dairies Survive New Water Quality\, Groundwater\, and Methane Regulations?  \nClimate Resilience Strategies for Small and Diversified Farmers  \nExploring Rangeland Restoration on Water-Limited Farmland  \n3:15 – 4:30 PM     WORKSHOPS \nManaging for Water Quality\, Climate Benefits\, and Farm Viability on Irrigated Croplands  \nScaling Up Compost Use to Reduce Fertilizer Costs  \nNRCS​: Updates on the Regenerative Ag Program and More
