CDFA Karen Ross visited Amy’s Kitchen in Santa Rosa to see firsthand the results of a California Energy Commission–funded project driving innovation in food processing.
Through the California’s Food Production Investment Program (FPIP), funded by the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, Amy’s Kitchen has invested over $15 million in energy- and water-saving technologies—reducing greenhouse gas emissions while keeping food processing, farming, and jobs in California.
In the video below, Secretary Ross highlights how this project supports the state’s Cap-and-Invest strategy, helping California transition to a carbon-neutral economy while protecting local communities, sustainable jobs, and the future of California-grown food.
