The Conservation Equation: Water, Wildlife, and Working Lands | Across the arid West, the choices producers make about how they graze, plant, and manage their soil ripple far beyond (and below) the fence line. When producers choose to implement water conservation practices, they are choosing to not just sustain agriculture, but also to protect wildlife, support habitats, and recharge aquifers that serve millions. | | | |
The Full Circle of Local Food Systems | What do farmers markets, locally owned grocery stores, and community compost centers have in common? If you answered they are all part of a functioning local food system, you would be right. If you had asked me that question six years ago, I may have been able to make the connection that they had something to do with food, but my answer would have ended there! | | | | Have you utilized any SBA-administered services or programs? | | | We want to share when our clients have success!
