Community

Mission RCD supports its communities with education and implementing conservation practices centered in equity and inclusion for thriving landscapes, habitats, and economies.  We work with local, state, and federal agencies, policymakers, and non-profits to ensure the health and resilience of soil, water, wildlife habitat, and other natural resources.

We provide outreach, education, and workshops to the community on a variety of conservation topics, and will be back to providing in-person workshops in 2023.  Our programs include:

USDA Emerging Farmer Agroecology Training Program

Mission RCD is a partner with California State University Northridge’s Institute of Sustainability and the Center for Faith and Food Justice on MESA’s (Multinational Exchange for Sustainable Agriculture) USDA funded Agroecology, Farming and Food Pathways training program. This training program consists of a virtual course, hands-on farm training, local farm visits and connecting and building community with other emerging farmers. Successful completion of the courses provides an opportunity for the Fellowship with 1:1 mentorship, grant writing and business plan training and access to many other agricultural resources.
