The California Organic Center Field Day at the Rodale Institute California Organic Center in Camarillo, California, recently brought together farmers, researchers, and advocates for organic agriculture for an inspiring day of learning and collaboration. It was my pleasure as FVC CEO to meet a group of California FVC Chapter members and learn about their individual farms.

Texas is home to a vibrant and diverse agricultural community that faces unique conservation challenges and opportunities. On May 22, 2025, the Texas State Technical Committee (STC) met in Temple, Texas, to discuss critical updates and provide recommendations that help guide conservation work across the state.
