Initiated in Fiscal Year 2014-15, the State of California's Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation Program (SALC) is an important step toward reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by farmland conversion to urban and suburban uses. At the same time SALC can potentially help catalyze implementation of Sustainable Communities Strategies (SCSs) and improved local land use planning and practice in California. This white paper explores approaches to strengthen SALC in 2016 and future years to meet both sets of goals.
