It is a holistic investment that is combined with nutrition education and experiential learning to inspire healthy lifelong habits in students and their families,\u00a0to help them avoid chronic diseases and fully achieve their potential.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As young people learn about exciting agricultural technology and innovations that enhance our ability to produce food with care&#8212;for the environment as well as the people who make it possible&#8211;I know they will see what I do: California agriculture is about growing opportunity!&nbsp; It\u2019s a chance to be involved in a career -\u2013 a calling, really -\u2013 to produce food and ag products for healthy lives, healthy communities, and a healthy environment. How thankful I am for all the people who make our California agricultural bounty possible!&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By CDFA Secretary Karen Ross It is the season to
