We are spending $40 million a year on investing in agricultural easements. We need to give much more serious thought as to where agriculture is likely to migrate and also where there is little likelihood for sustainable agriculture. The California Climate Console is useful for that purpose. As information like this becomes more readily available we collectively can do a better job of thinking strategically as to where we want to focus our investment- agricultural easements as well as implementation of management, and the kind of conservation we want to support, like those agricultural lands that have the highest likelihood of being sustained over time in California.
