As part of AIM’s mission to create a healthy, equitable, Earth-Friendly local and regional food system, we advocate for meaningful changes in state and local policies. We have had some recent policy successes to support healthy food access and climate resiliency, while continuing to work through challenges affecting our local food supply and the future of organic and organic and sustainable agriculture.

Written by Marin and Sonoma County agencies and organizations, this report documents collective and coordinated responses to the extreme dry conditions from 2019 through 2022.
