Water for the Future

Sustainable Conservation works with the people who drink, manage, and irrigate with groundwater to implement on-farm recharge and build large-scale watershed modeling across the Central Valley.

Waste Not

Sustainable Conservation promotes solutions to reuse manure nutrients, connect farmers and their land to a circular resource economy, reduce groundwater and greenhouse gas pollution, and build soil health.
