Coalición De Pequeños Agricultores en California

Coalición de Pequeños Agricultores en California is driving transformative change in San Benito County by addressing systemic inequities that impact Latino farmworkers and small-scale farmers. Their work focuses on creating equitable access to land, financial resources, and market opportunities while advocating for policies that uplift marginalized farming communities. Through partnerships with organizations like the Latino Coalition of San Benito County and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, they provide advanced agricultural technologies, renewable energy solutions, and economic planning support. By building pathways for fair compensation and sustainable practices, the coalition fosters a resilient food system where culturally relevant, nutritious foods are accessible to local communities, institutions, and consumers. This work not only strengthens food sovereignty but also empowers farmers to achieve long-term economic independence and environmental stewardship.
