Launching The North Valley Food Hub for Climate-Smart Agriculture
Update (2026): This project continues under the USDA Advancing Markets for Producers (AMP) initiative (grant #NR233A750004G110). Applications and program details: regenerativeag.csuchico.edu.
This project plans to work collaboratively with regional small and historically underserved producers to launch the North Valley Food Hub for Climate-Smart Agriculture. The Hub plans to provide farm-to-fork integration through marketing and sales support for project climate-smart commodities by consolidating transaction costs, creating a one-stop shopping platform for buyers and a marketplace for growers to post and promote their products. The project plans to support producers in implementing a variety of climate-smart cover crops; no-till or minimum-till practices; nutrient management; enhanced efficiency fertilizers; planting for high carbon sequestration rates; and soil amendments. An incentive payment is planned to be offered for each producer implementing an advanced practice.
