Advancing Ag Climate Careers

The SEDC launched Siskiyou Farm Co, a growing network of agricultural producer brands, in Siskiyou County, working together to build a strong regional food identity rooted in quality and sustainability. Local producers are shortening transportation lines—bringing food closer to consumers while reducing emissions and transportation costs.

As a California Jobs First Catalyst Award recipient ($140,000), the collective Siskiyou Farm Co program supports future-facing climate jobs. From regenerative practices, to on-site value-added processing and local distribution hubs, these producers are building the infrastructure for a climate-smart agricultural economies. The project strengthens farm and ranch viability in Siskiyou County and connects local food to the California marketplace.
