The State Board of Food and Agriculture and the California Department of Food and Agriculture are launching a series of listening sessions that will provide a forum for the agriculture industry and public to give their input into a California strategic agricultural vision. This vision will be used to guide public policy and investment priorities at the state and national level for the next 20 years. It will be a vision that affects everyone who produces, ships, processes, markets, eats, drinks or wears California agricultural products.

The California Agricultural Vision will consist of strategic goals that the agricultural industry wants to achieve by the year 2030. Public input is essential for the agricultural vision to fully represent California, including perspectives from farmers, ranchers and processors as well as hunger, nutrition, conservation and rural development groups.
