History The California Agricultural and Natural Resource Needs Index (CANRNI) project was initiated to provide UC ANR senior leadership with a clear picture of investment at the county level and to incorporate data-driven analysis into the academic hiring process.

Before using the tool, we highly recommend you familiarize yourself with a few basic features. County Selection: Click on a county on the map to filter all data to that county. Menu: Allows you to navigate between different dashboards. Zoom Controls: Allows you to change the extent of the map.

The purpose of including secondary metrics in the CANRNI maps is to provide additional objective information that highlights needs across the state to inform programmatic footprint discussions.

Many small acreage landowners in California are eager to have a chance to raise various livestock on their property. It is helpful to familiarize yourself with the space and feed requirements of any livestock you are considering, as well as the best way to take care of their health.

In California, wildfires, floods, high winds events, droughts, earthquakes, snow events and biosecurity events all pose potential emergency situations for small acreage landowners.

Rangeland in California includes annual grasslands, oak woodlands, chaparral or brush, sagebrush steppe, and mixed conifer forests ecosystems. It is undeveloped land which has an annual forage base that livestock graze. Rangeland, by definition, relies solely on rainfall and is not irrigated.

Wildfires are a common occurrence in California and are particularly concerning for those in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI), or areas where homes are built near natural vegetation. Small acreage landowners often buy property in the WUI and need to be prepared to deal with fires.
