California issues report outlining a future for state agriculture – Produce Blue Book

Produce Blue Book

The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) has released a document outlining its vision for the state’s farming industry over the next decade. It’s called Ag Vision for the Next Decade. “Ag Vision is not just a plan for farmers and ranchers,” says an introductory statement. “It’s a plan for every Californian, from those who care about the land and landscape and making it better for the future, to those who work with or live around farming communities. It’s a plan for those curious about their food, those who buy fresh California fruit at their local grocery store, and those who receive nutritious dairy foods from their local food bank or school. It’s also a plan for young people looking to apply technology and innovation in new ways.”
