CAFF helped to found the California Climate and Agricultural Network (CalCAN), a coalition of organizations and individuals devoted to influencing agricultural policies regarding climate change and sustainable agriculture. CAFF conducts its work on climate change through this coalition.
AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act, calls for California to reduce its emissions of global warming gases to 1990 levels by 2020, a reduction of about 25% over status quo projections. CAFF was the only statewide agricultural organization to support AB 32, recognizing that global warming is the pre-eminent environmental and economic challenge to our future and that sustainable agriculture can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
