We work within UC ANR’s goal to serve all California communities and develop resources for a variety of extension professionals and stakeholders across California’s agriculture and food systems.
We:
- identify gaps in access to UC ANR programs and develop resources to address stakeholder priorities
- organize educational opportunities for extension professionals to learn more about building trust with communities previously having less access to UC ANR resources and programs
- work across the California food supply chain with the goal of increasing economic opportunity, sustainability, and quality of life for all California farms and food businesses
Farmworker & Food Worker Well-being
We are working to promote a more socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable food system in California. From 2013-2017, UC SAREP collaborated on research evaluating farmworker time and activity in caneberry and broccoli production and provided recommendations for future research to improve the quality of life of California farmworkers. These projects are archived below.

Webinars for Extension Professionals
In keeping with UC ANR’s goal to serve all California communities, UC SAREP conducted a webinar series to support extension professionals in fostering relationships of trust with farmers, ranchers, and other land managers who have historically been underserved by extension institutions.
Recordings of the webinar series can be accessed here: Extension YouTube Playlist
