Welcome to Earth Week! With the annual Earth Day recognition coming on April 22, CDFA is taking this opportunity to discuss its environmental stewardship work throughout the week.
Because agriculture is dependent on a healthy and stable environment, environmental quality and protection are integral to CDFA’s activities. Examples include Integrated Pest Management approaches in the Division of Plant Health and Pest Prevention Services, facilitating the expansion of zero emission vehicles at the Division of Measurement Standards, and lessening the impact of nitrogen in soils and groundwater through the work of the Fertilizer Research and Education Program (FREP).
CDFA’s Office of Environmental Farming & Innovation oversees and administers climate-focused programs like the State Water Efficiency and Enhancement Program (SWEEP), the Healthy Soils Program, the Alternative Manure Management Program, and more. The objective of these programs is to incentivize practices that result in a net benefit for agriculture and the environment through innovation, efficient management, and science.
CDFA will share more information about its environmental programs on Earth Day with a webinar via Zoom that will be available for public participation, from 12 noon to 1:30 pm. We hope you will join us! The pertinent information is below:
