science-based solutions in agricultural production, food systems, natural resources management, ecosystem resilience, community and youth development, and nutrition and health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past year, UC ANR played a key role in collective action against the climate crisis by participating in California\u2019s roadmap to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdpr.ca.gov\/docs\/sustainable_pest_management_roadmap\/\">Accelerating Sustainable Pest Management<\/a>. UC ANR also contributed to legislative changes to curb catastrophic wildfires and led applied research initiatives to improve the resilience and health of the soil, air and water of the state\u2019s wildlands and working landscapes. UC ANR\u2019s statewide facilities \u2014 including nine Research and Extension Centers (RECs), the Elkus Ranch Environmental Education Center and an administrative building \u2014 continued sustainable practices in fiscal year 2023\u201324.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-style-read-more is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Read More about Sustainability at UC Agriculture and Natural Resources<\/summary>\n<p>Between 2023 and 2024, UC ANR\u2019s facilities reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 9.8%, from 970 to 875 metric tons, and reduced natural gas use 11.7%, from 265 to 234 metric tons. Indirect greenhouse gas emissions, largely from purchased electricity, decreased by 10%. Potable water consumption also decreased from the prior year, from 18 million gallons to less than 16 million gallons. A large factor in the reductions of emissions, natural gas use and potable water consumption is attributed to the <a href=\"https:\/\/ucanr.edu\/blogs\/blogcore\/postdetail.cfm?postnum=56242\">relocation of the Hansen REC<\/a> in September 2023.
