Program accomplishments

  • KEY PROJECTS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:ROUNDTABLES, COLLABORATIVES, AND MULTI-STAKEHOLDER CONVENINGSGroundwater Leadership Forum (GLF): For 7 years, Ag Innovations facilitated this group working to make collective impact regarding the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) requirements. Supported by the Water Foundation, the group undertook a systems level evaluation process of SGMA, and planned collective action to help it more effectively achieve its goals. This included increasing alignment, collaboration, and cohesion between environmental justice groups and conservation groups working on water issues in California. Work continued with a $2M technical assistance grant from the State Department of Water Resources to support drinking water and the environment in groundwater management actions. The Forum conducted the most comprehensive review of SGMA to date, becoming a trusted and known resource for State agencies. The GLF finished its work in December, 2025.California Water Action Collaborative (CWAC): Now in its 10th year, Ag Innovations continues to facilitate CWAC, using systems thinking to support water resilience and restoration in CA between corporations and non-governmental organizations. The Collaborative learned from experts about policy and issues facing water supply and stewardship in CA, and worked on issues related to SGMA, measuring collective impact on water stewardship. Ag Innovations facilitated working groups focused on regenerative agriculture (The Regenerative Ag & Water Lab) and watershed stewardship (The San Joaquin Resilience Initiative) in order to foster more and better collective action and investments. Both initiatives are aligned with State priorities and member interests. Tule Subbasin Multi-benefit Land Repurposing (MLRP), via Tulare Basin Watershed Network: Ag Innovations continued to partner with and provide services through the Tulare Basin Watershed Network focused on connecting resource management agencies, non-governmental organizations, land managers, tribal entities, and others on innovative, collaborative action around watershed stewardship. The main client is Pixley Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA), alongside eleven (11) other partners. Services to the MLRP initiative include outreach and engagement strategy, planning/coordination with all the partners, and support and implementation of a wide range of O&E activities. Efforts focused on design and facilitation of stakeholder engagement workshops, disadvantaged community advisory group facilitation, and grower outreach and engagement. CAPACITY BUILDING AND ASSESSMENTCalifornia Farm Demonstration Network Evaluation: This project evaluated a two-year period of performance of the California Farm Demonstration Network (CFDN), assessing how effectively the networks model and activities advance the adoption of climate-smart farming practices in California. Ag Innovations designed and conducted 21 in-depth interviews with farmers and technical assistance providers, synthesized and analyzed interview results, and developed tailored recommendations based on experience building and supporting networks. This evaluation focused on understanding network functionality through the lens of the collective impact model. Key deliverables included a comprehensive evaluation report and a summary presentation tailored to CFDN partner needs, as well as recommendations for strengthening and sustaining the network. Advancing Soil Health in Arid-Land Agricultural Systems Convening: Ag Innovations designed, facilitated, and documented a two-day meeting to develop a research program for arid- and semi-arid-land agriculture for the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research and University of Arizona. Drawing on its extensive experience working across the agriculture, academic, business, and funding sectors, Ag Innovations implemented a clear, structured process to bring together cross-sector partners. The goal was to align on priority research needs, establish key criteria for a successful research program, and outline next steps. The effort culminated in a comprehensive report for funders that highlighted key themes, outcomes, and recommended actions, as well as a summary for growers and other stakeholders. The facilitation approach resulted in clear guidance to support a broad research roadmap for resilient agricultural systems in desert environments.PUBLIC ENGAGEMENTSolano Subbasin Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA): Ag Innovations continued its facilitation of collaboration between five groundwater sustainability agencies in the Solano Subbasin with adjacent groundwater subbasins. It also continued to lead public engagement to understand the interests and needs of beneficial users of groundwater in implementing the groundwater sustainability plan. Building on this foundation, Ag Innovations now supports the implementation of the GSP, which includes leading stakeholder engagement, and coordinating across inter-agency and inter-basin boundaries. It has supported implementation activities to provide education to groundwater users about the Subbasin and facilitated the Solano Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Agency Collaborative to ensure effective groundwater management in the Subbasin.Delta Conveyance Project (DCP): In 2025, Ag Innovations continued to facilitate environmental justice outreach and a community benefits program for the Delta Conveyance Project (DCP). Through a variety of grassroots efforts, Ag Innovations reached 25,636 Delta residents. This included participation in more than 54 community events and presentations to 12 community-based organizations to inform residents about the latest DCP developments and how to get involved in the public review process of the DCP. Ag Innovations also facilitates community benefits program meetings with Delta communities to develop community benefits agreements that reflect goodwill and concern regarding adverse effects the Delta communities would endure through the construction phase of the proposed project. Lake Sonoma West, Bureau of Reclamation, WaterSmart, Cooperative Watershed Management Program: Building upon its previous work in the Lake Sonoma area, Ag Innovations won a Bureau of Reclamation grant to convene a watershed group and develop a Lake Sonoma West Watershed plan. The project purpose is to protect watersheds and water supply from catastrophic wildfires by removing heavy fuel loads, monitoring water quality around recent burn areas, restoring healthy habitat, streams, and riparian corridors, and installing erosion control techniques to minimize sediments and heavy metal contamination. Ag Innovations designs, manages, and facilitates the overall planning process, including the Watershed and Technical Advisory Groups. It recruited residents, land managers, local Tribes, NGOs, community groups, and agency partners, including Sonoma County Water Agency (Sonoma Water), the US Army Corps of Engineers, and the Kashia Band of Pomo Indians, to guide plan development.Tule Subbasin Multi-benefit Land Repursposing (MLRP), via Tulare Basin Watershed Network: Ag Innovations continued to partner with and provide services through the Tulare Basin Watershed Network focused on connecting resource management agencies, non-governmental organizations, land managers, tribal entities, and others on innovative, collaborative action around watershed stewardship. The main client is Pixley Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA), alongside eleven (11) other partners. Services to the MLRP initiative include outreach and engagement strategy, planning/coordination with all the partners, support and implementation of a wide range of O&E activities. It designs and facilitates stakeholder engagement workshops, disadvantaged community advisory group facilitation, and grower outreach and engagement. Modoc Nation Tribal Nature-Based Solutions Planning Project Outreach and Engagement Plan Development:Ag Innovations supported the Modoc Nation in developing a comprehensive outreach and engagement plan for its Tribal Nature-Based Solutions Planning Project, aimed at guiding inclusive land and resource management across Modoc Homelands in Siskiyou and Modoc Counties. The plan was designed to advance the Nations goals of reestablishing their presence on ancestral lands, restoring ecological and watershed health, and revitalizing cultural traditions. Ag Innovations helped structure a strategy that places Tribal leadership and member participation at the center of the process, ensuring that diverse perspectives inform planning and decision-making. In addition, the plan fosters collaboration with neighboring Tribes, agencies, and local communities, creating opportunities for shared learning, relationship-building, and long-term stewardship of Modoc Homelands.Solano County Sustainable Ag Lands Conservation (SALC): This is a county-led planning effort to develop a Strategic Initiative for Agriculture that con
