The San Diego County Farm Bureau is hosting a free Grant Opportunity Workshop to assist California growers with applying for the Healthy Soils Program. The workshop will take place on two dates and interested parties can choose to attend on either date and opt to attend in person or virtually. 

The Healthy Soils Program provides up to $100,000 in grant funds for eligible agricultural management practices that sequester carbon, reduce greenhouse gases and improve soil health.

Presenters at the workshop will summarize the benefits of soil conservation practices and guide attendees through the HSP application process. The presenters include:

  • Dr. Oli Bachie, San Diego and Imperial County Director, UCCE
  • Dr. Esther Mosase, Community Education Specialist, UCCE
  • Mary Matava, Agronomist and Owner, Agriservice
  • Joel Kramer, Agricultural Specialist, Research Conservation District of Greater San Diego

Registration for the workshop is available online.  For more information about the workshop, contact Dr. Mosase at enmosase@ucanr.edu or Mr. Kramer at joel.kramer@rcdsandiego.org or 619.562.0096, ext. 103.
