Tranquillity and its team is focused on supporting all farmers and ranchers successfully while working towards the twin goals of resiliency and sustainability well into the future, and for the benefit of the communities where they and farmworkers reside.  Most recently, the district has begun supporting the Farmer Ag Network located here in Fresno County that covers the San Joaquin Valley.

The following are programs and initiatives underway which are focused on meeting the challenges associated within the area of sustainable agriculture.
