About the Program

How is SGMA implementation going, what successes have we seen, and what’s next for the San Joaquin Valley? Join us on Tuesday, July 28, for a presentation and panel discussion about all these questions, with a special look at whether SGMA-ready crops could aid the farmland transitions currently underway in the valley.

This research and event are supported with funding from the S. D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation and the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative, project award no. 2023-67019-39707, from the US Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
