The twist that they\u2014and all of us\u2014are dealing with this year brings a whole new test of their adaptability and resiliency.\u00a0<\/p><p>They are meeting the challenge the only way they know how &#8211; through hard work and dedication in\u00a0working with their employees\u00a0to\u00a0deliver food to grocery stores and food banks while simultaneously contending with a collapse of other parts of the supply chain.\u00a0And they\u2019re doing all that while maintaining all-important environmental stewardship.\u00a0<\/p><p>The livelihood of farmers and ranchers is tied to the land and to our communities &#8211; the understanding of natural cycles; sowing, tending and harvesting; conserving, recycling and streamlining; learning and improving. These cycles and so many more are at the heart of farming.<\/p><p>Every day is Earth Day in agriculture. Our farmers and ranchers are restoring the health of our soil, turning dairy emissions into energy, conserving water, reducing and optimizing fertilizer use, protecting pollinators, incorporating wildlife conservation into their business plans, and doing dozens of other things that contribute in real, quantifiable ways to combating climate change. And because of California\u2019s leadership role in agriculture, we are also a beacon for other growers around the world to learn about what works and multiply our successes on their own land.<\/p><p>I\u2019m proud of everything our farmers and ranchers\u00a0and farm workers\u00a0are doing, and I\u2019m honored to be part of a department that helps them achieve these goals. I want them to know that we\u2019re here for them through this crisis, and we will move forward with them when it\u2019s over.\u00a0<\/p><p>I wish you all a 50th anniversary of Earth Day that is full
