At 9:30 a.m., the board will discuss and consider a request from the County Administrative Office regarding the Lake County comments to the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) for AgVision 2030.
CDFA is holding a series of listening sessions around the state for AgVision, California strategic agricultural vision which the agency said will affect everyone who produces, ships, processes, markets, eats, drinks or wears California agricultural products in the next 20 years.
The vision, according to CDFA, will guide public policy and investment priorities at the state and national level in the decades to come, and will consist of strategic goals that the agricultural industry wants to achieve by the year 2030.
In announcing the sessions, CDFA invited public comment from all perspectives, including farmers and ranchers to those involving in conservation, rural development and nutrition.
Specifically, CDFA is seeking answers to the following questions from groups and members of the public:
What is your vision for California agriculture by 2030?
What will be the biggest challenge in achieving that vision?
In 2030, how has the public perception of agriculture changed?
What is a "must have" in an Ag Vision for California?
The board is expected to submit a written statement to CDFA's State Board based on the Tuesday discussion.
