California’s family farmers nourish our communities. But they can’t do it alone. To ensure a thriving local food system rooted in justice and regenerative agriculture, we each have an important roll to play.

California’s family farmers are essential to our state, and action is needed to ensure that family farmers aren’t pushed out of production by market consolidation, loss of land or water access, or climate extremes. This platform details some key steps to ensure local farmers can continue to thrive.
