The Marin Agricultural Land Trust launched a drought resilience and water security initiative this summer to fund improvements to water collection, storage and distribution. Twenty-one projects have been funded at a total cost of $250,000, and MALT’s board approved another round last week, funded by private donations.

But this year, due to a suite of issues including the ramifications of Covid-19, marks a turning point: The market’s management is transferring to the Agricultural Institute of Marin, a nonprofit that runs eight farmers markets in Marin, San Francisco and the East Bay. ....
