October's Our Common Ground conversation is on Ethnobotany. Panelists to include Rebecca Burgess, executive director of Fibershed, and Keith Warner, OFM, director of education and action research at Santa Clara University's Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship. MALT launched an emergency initiative that commits $500,000 to help Marin County ranchers and farmers invest in drought-resilient practices centered around long-term water security.
MALT is proud to partner with Daily Driver, a local business that shares our common goal of protecting Marin's agricultural community, local economy, access to healthy food and clean air and water. As ranchers and farmers work to build more resilient and sustainable water infrastructure, MALT's drought initiative sets a longer-term path to the future as it delivers emergency relief.

The impact on our community is immense, especially to farmers and ranchers whose operations depend on this precious natural resource. Securing and maintaining reliable, clean water for farms and ranches is imperative to the success of the local agricultural economy in Marin County. As our changing climate creates unpredictable conditions, MALT is collaborating with several local organizations on drought relief efforts.
The first farmland trust in the nation, MALT was founded in 1980 by Ellen Straus and Phyllis Faber - and a broad coalition of ranchers, environmentalists and community leaders - to protect the future of farming in Marin County from mounting pressures for development. MALT's co-founders, Ellen Straus and Phyllis Faber, came together in their desire to protect the land, preserve West Marin's agricultural community and promote local food.
Since 1980, when MALT was founded by Ellen Straus, a dairy farmer, and Phyllis Faber, a botanist, MALT has thrived at the center of an incredible nexus of interests: agriculture, food production, environmentalism and climate change mitigation. MALT is committed to honoring this legacy, to operating ethically and transparently, as we advance our work.
