Western states are experiencing shrinking reservoirs and increasingly severe droughts, putting communities, farms, and ecosystems under strain. But there is hope: through conservation, smart water management, and supportive policies, we can protect this vital resource.

Every action counts—from reducing water waste at home to advocating for sustainable solutions at the state level. By working together, we can safeguard water for our families, our communities, and generations to come. The West can thrive again—and it starts with the choices we make today.

Nevada’s food and farm communities just got some tough news: the Southwest Regional Food Business Center—a lifeline for small and mid-sized farms—is being shut down three years early.

That’s $3 million in federal funding lost.
93% of Nevada farms are family-owned, but without this support, they miss out on critical tools like cold storage, transportation, and marketing.
The center had $900,000 set aside for Nevada farm grants, but now less than half will reach our farmers.
In just two years, the program supported 170 Nevada farms and food businesses—proof that it worked.

This isn’t just about farmers. It’s about food security, resilient communities, and our local economy.

At LEAN, we believe a just food system is a resilient food system. We’ll keep advocating so Nevada’s family farms aren’t left behind.
