Hands-On Training Opportunity for State Legislators on Principles of Agroecology and Regenerative Ranching
Pescadero, CA. November 3rd – 5th
We are excited to announce an exclusive hands-on training opportunity for state legislators at the esteemed TomKat Ranch, hosted by the State Innovation Exchange (SiX) and the Office of Kat Taylor from November 3-5. We will focus on the principles of regenerative agriculture, soil ecology and examine policies that can support a widespread transition to more climate-friendly agricultural practices.
TomKat Ranch is a working ranch and educational lab that offers a unique chance to deepen legislators’ understanding of regenerative agriculture and its crucial role in combating climate change. Participants will engage in field sessions, ranch walks and in-depth discussions with leading experts in the field.
Submit your application here. Applications due June 22nd.
Here’s what you can expect from this training opportunity:
