Often critiqued for their outsized impact on a changing environment, farmers are actually key to helping California achieve its aggressive conservation and greenhouse gas emission reduction goals.<\/p>\n

That was the Earth Day message California Secretary of Agriculture Karen Ross brought to the sun-drenched Sonoma countryside Sunday.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a private event on a hillside at Sebastopol\u2019s Iron Horse Vineyards, Ross praised CEO Joy Sterling and her family for stewardship of their 300-acre property in the prized Green Valley appellation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recognize that conserving our farmland, conserving our natural working landscapes and managing them in a way that stores carbon is the solution,\u201d Ross said.<\/p>\n

Sterling\u2019s family has close ties to Gov. Jerry Brown\u2019s administration, and she sits on the state\u2019s Food and Agricultural Board.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Ross touted Brown\u2019s environmental leadership, including his call for the state to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050, as well as the sustainability efforts of the wine industry, which she knows well from her 13 years heading the California Association of Winegrape Growers.<\/p>\n

Ross reminded the assembled wine lovers that as consumers, they hold the power to ensure the climate accord struck in Paris last year \u2014 which many feel is now imperiled by the Trump administration \u2014 is ultimately successful.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was businesses and individuals and nonprofits that came together, which tells you no matter what the policies are in Washington, D.C., the market and the people at the grass roots are not going to allow it to change,\u201d Ross said.<\/p>\n

Ross noted that the state\u2019s 77,600 farmers need the support of its 40 million residents if they are going to be successful in adapting to climate change.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need a partnership to support our farmers in the changes that they embody, and this farm is a perfect example,\u201d Ross said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis region is a perfect example.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sterling cited just a few of the sustainability efforts the property has taken over the years, noting that state biologists released 8.400 juvenile coho into Green Valley Creek last month from the property.<\/p>\n

She also noted the irony that while the menu for the event included veggie burgers, the property on which it was held was a 1920s cattle corral.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s exactly how change happens \u2014 you repurpose things, and you rethink about them,\u201d Sterling said.<\/p>\n

In a nod to the importance of preventing food waste, Komal Ahmad, CEO of food-sharing app Copia, explained how her organization began as a way to get perfectly fine food that was going to waste at UC Berkeley into the hands of the homeless and is now on track to feed 1 million people this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really want to solve what we believe is the world\u2019s dumbest problem,\u201d Ahmad said of food waste.<\/p>\n

Money from Sunday\u2019s event will support the San Francisco-based nonprofit Sustainable Conservation, which works with businesses to promote an array of environmental initiatives, including waste-to-energy projects and habitat restoration.<\/p>\n

\u201cFarmers are at the interface of human society and the natural world, and they are there every day,\u201d said Stacey Sullivan, policy director of Sustainable Conservation. \u201cWho better to celebrate Earth Day with?\u201d<\/p>\n
