Empowering a broad, producer-centered network to improve soil health across Oregon.
The Oregon Climate and Agriculture Network (OrCAN) was founded in 2017 as a volunteer-run effort laser focused on state-level policy advocacy at the intersection of climate change and agriculture. Today, we are building an inclusive and collaborative producer driven network, providing educational programming for technical assistance providers, and continuing our work to advance institutionalized support for soil health. With a state-wide bird’s eye view on the landscape of soil health on farms and ranches in Oregon, we work with farmers, researchers, technical assistance providers, non-profits, and policy makers.
Mission and Goals
OrCAN’s unique mission is to empower a broad, producer-centered network to improve soil health across Oregon. We do this through collaboration, education, and policy advocacy. We envision a future where healthy soils are the foundation of thriving food systems in Oregon–reconnecting healthy ecosystems, economies, and communities.
