\"Adapting<\/a>

Adapting to climate change is a major priority for CDFA Secretary Karen Ross and California State Board of Food and Agriculture President Craig McNamara.<\/p><\/div>\n

By Nick Miller<\/strong><\/p>\n

If Sacramento is truly the nation\u2019s farm-to-fork\u00a0capital, then the state Capitol has an opportunity this week to prove so by putting millions of budget dollars where its mouth is.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what\u2019s at stake: California\u2019s cap-and-trade carbon tax is expected to generate a cool $850 million next fiscal year. This money needs to be spent on projects that reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. Gov. Jerry Brown\u2019s budget proposes that $25 million of this nut go toward agriculture. That\u2019s not a ton of funding, but it is direly needed, and would be spent on fertilizer management, methane mitigation at dairy farms, biofuels, farmland preservation, plus other sustainability programs that combat climate change.<\/p>\n

The catch is that some Democrats in the Senate and Assembly have the governor\u2019s ag money in their crosshairs. They want to use the millions for their own pet projects: urban infill, mass transit, etc. To that end, both houses of the Legislature have proposed their own budget plans.<\/p>\n

This concerns sustainable-agriculture advocates. Since most lawmakers represent urban areas, not rural districts, they fear that farmers might end up losing out on some of the state\u2019s first ag-related funding in years. Lawmaker\u2019s budget deadline is next Sunday, June 15.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t predict how this will go,\u201d said Jeanne Merrill, a policy director with California Climate and Agriculture Network, or CalCAN. But what she does know is that \u201cyou can\u2019t seek agriculture solutions to climate change without protecting land.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When most Californians think of the fight against climate change, they picture doing so by\u00a0switching out lightbulbs and not running the air conditioner, or by buying hybrid cars and driving less.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut agriculture\u2019s total emissions \u2026 are roughly about 7 percent of the state\u2019s total emissions,\u201d said Ryan Harden, a staff researcher at UC Davis who works on studies for the California Air Resources Board and the California Energy Commission.<\/p>\n

He concedes that 7 percent is \u201cnot very much compared to electricity use and cars.\u201d But it can make a dent. \u201cEvery little bit helps.\u201d<\/p>\n

For sure, agriculture has definitely been part of the mix when California\u2019s leaders look at ways to reduce emissions and meet the celebrated Assembly Bill 32\u2019s global-warming goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cNatural- and working-land strategies to reduce greenhouse gases aren\u2019t at the top of the list in the building,\u201d said Merrill, \u201cbut I think we\u2019ve seen good progress.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the main ways agriculture addresses climate change is with fertilizer. Almost all crops in California need it. But UCD\u2019s Harden said, \u201cOne of the bigger sources of greenhouse-gas emissions from agriculture is nitrous-oxide emissions from soils,\u201d which comes from chemicals in fertilizer. Some 50 percent of ag\u2019s overall emissions derive from this, he explained.<\/p>\n

Harden and others aren\u2019t saying we should stop using fertilizers, however. Farming is too complex and vulnerable to advocate for that, he said. The state does encourage farmers to adopt greenhouse-gas-mitigation tactics on a voluntary basis.<\/p>\n

Brown\u2019s budget would allocate $5 million to research ways to improve fertilizers and manage their emissions. Again, that\u2019s not a huge chunk of change. But it\u2019s needed, experts say.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a 400 different kinds of crops in California, with different soil and different watering systems,\u201d said Karen Ross, head of the California Department of Food and Agriculture. She argues that there\u2019s \u201ca huge need to develop a research road map\u201d for how to manage fertilizers, and this funding will help pave the way.<\/p>\n

But the feud over farm-to-fork\u2019s funding future is over more than just fertilizer.<\/p>\n

Democrat leaders in the Assembly have a different plan. They want to split the $850 million in cap-and-trade money into two pots: Some of this would eventually go toward reducing agricultural waste and \u201ccarbon farming,\u201d a method of reducing emissions that is popular with farmers. But there aren\u2019t any guarantees, and critics of the Assembly plan remain uncertain that money will be set aside for priority projects.<\/p>\n

The governor\u2019s plan would be managed by Ross\u2019 Department of Food and Agriculture, while the Assembly\u2019s would be under the Strategic Growth Council\u2019s purview (of which Ross is a member).<\/p>\n

Over in the Senate, lawmakers recommend setting aside a specific amount of the cap-and-trade revenue, $30 million, but for nonspecific emissions-reduction and water-efficiency projects. This plan builds off the governor\u2019s drought bill, and the California Wildlife Conservation Board would oversee it.<\/p>\n

Sustainable-ag groups put up a good face and say they are happy to have any state monies. \u201cWe want to make sure some funding goes to agriculture,\u201d Merrill said. \u201cAnd we\u2019re pleased all three proposals recognize the agriculture as a solution to climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a perfect world, however, farmers and advocates would like to see more investment in farmland preservation. This means investing in ag land and ending sprawl policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at the rate of emissions for an urban area, they tend to have 70 times higher emissions than your typical plot of agriculture land,\u201d said Harden. This means that the more farmland conservation takes place, the more Sacramento and the rest of the state can stabilize\u2014and hopefully reduce\u2014emissions.<\/p>\n

But, no surprise, conservation often takes a backseat to industry. This is why a large piece of the governor\u2019s budget, $12 million, will go to big-time dairy producers, who hope to install pricey digesters to reduce methane emissions.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not a bad thing. And Ross says it\u2019s a priority, \u201cconsidering that we have almost 2 million dairy cows in the state and only a handful of dairy digesters.\u201d<\/p>\n

But she also advocates for strategic growth, conservation and sustainability: investment in modernization of water irrigation, renewable energy on farms (more than 5,700 state farms primarily use renewable energy, she said), alternative fuels and soil health.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can do all these things, and we know they\u2019re the right things to do,\u201d Ross said. But it comes down to money and time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I think about the next generation, I think we\u2019re really going to see tremendous change,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
