A brief description of the certificate program(s):

Regenerative Agriculture Management Systems Professional Courses: California is the nation’s leading agricultural producer by total receipts, generating over $50 billion in 2019, far exceeding the number two leading state of Iowa ($27.5 billion). By sheer size and productivity, California has significant potential to contribute to working lands conservation efforts. However, climate change, diminishing soil health, low implementation of conservation efforts, and lack of knowledge and/or access to information, training, and assistance with systems-based agricultural management have left us less resilient and more vulnerable to economic and environmental threats.

The Center for Regenerative Agriculture and Resilient Systems at Chico State has developed this four-course professional series to support the expansion of systems-based farm, ranch, and forest management practices on California working lands, and foster conversation and innovative, collaborative strategies to address current and future threats and opportunities for California agricultural production. Certificate of completion given at the end of each course. The courses are:

--Systems Theory and Practice
--Soil Health Systems
--Science & Practice of Ecological Forest and Range Management
--Farm/Ranch Planning & Design
