Agricultural producer access to professional technical assistance (TA) is crucial to the success of the transition to climate-resilient agriculture.

Technical assistance providers include Resource Conservation Districts (RCDs), University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE), and nonprofits with access to the latest science to inform a farmer’s decision-making about their management choices.

They provide farmers with a range of services that can include on-farm conservation planning, market development/business planning, on- farm conservation project development, grant application assistance, and project implementation.
