| Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation | Varies | The Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation (SALC) Program fights climate change by protecting our productive farmlands and encouraging compact transit-oriented communities. The SALC Program utilizes Cap-and-Trade proceeds to protect agricultural lands on the outskirts of cities and near residential neighborhoods from development. The SALC program simultaneously supports California’s food security and encourages infill development and low-carbon transportation to curb sprawl. Urban sprawl not only increases greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, as people have to drive further to get where they need to go, but also encroaches on agricultural lands that both store carbon and sustain our economy. https://www.conservation.ca.gov/dlrp/grant-programs/SALCP/Pages/Application%20Information.aspx |
