The Regenerative Agriculture Working Group was established to draft a recommendation for a definition of “regenerative agriculture” as it relates to state policy and programs to be considered by the California State Board of Food and Agriculture (the Board). Through facilitated meetings, the work group is drawing from the “Framework for a definition of Regenerative Agriculture” put forward to the Board by the CDFA Environmental Farming Act Science Advisory Panel (EFA SAP) along with public comment received during public listening sessions, Tribal listening sessions, and written comments. To learn more about the process, find recordings of previous meetings, or register for future meetings, please visit www.cdfa.ca.gov/RegenerativeAg.
There will also be a virtual public listening session on Thursday, August 22 at 5:00 p.m. Members of the public can join to provide comments.
