ABPCA Bill Id:HR 89 (
Author:Eggman) – As Introduced Ver:March 4, 2020
SUBJECT: California Agriculture Day.
SUMMARY: Recognizes and honors all those who work in California agriculture for their dedication and productivity by observing March 18, 2020, as California Agriculture Day, and designating Wednesday, March 24, 2020, as National Agriculture Day. Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative findings:
- March 18, 2020, is designated as California Agriculture Day, a day of celebration to commemorate agriculture's importance in our daily lives, its vital role in keeping Californians nourished, and its role in keeping the state's economy ranked as the fifth largest in the world.
- The 2020 theme of California Agriculture Day is “California Agriculture: For Our Kids and Our Future,” in recognition of agriculture’s innovation and growth that have made California the top agricultural state in the nation.
- For more than 60 consecutive years, California has been the number one agricultural state in the nation, producing more than 400 crop and livestock products and accounting for approximately 50 percent of the nation's supply of fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
- Today's agricultural industry offers over 300 challenging and rewarding career opportunities, from on-farm cultivation to food science and engineering.
- California is the nation's leader in agricultural exports, shipping $20.5 billion of food and agricultural commodities around the world in 2018.
- Public-private partnerships are continually being developed to improve quality and ensure safe handling practices on the farm, in transit, and during processing.
- California consumers say that it is important to them to purchase foods items grown in the state and have demonstrated increasing support for farmers' markets, community-supported agricultural programs, and Farm to School programs.
- California is estimated to lose 500,000 acres of agricultural land by 2050, including more than 300,000 acres of highly productive irrigated cropland. California should continue to engage in conservation efforts to preserve California's agricultural heritage.
