AI Summary
This resolution recognizes March 19, 2025, as California Agriculture Day, highlighting the critical importance of agriculture to the state's economy and society. The resolution emphasizes California's status as the nation's top agricultural state for over 60 consecutive years, producing more than 400 crop and livestock products and accounting for over one-third of vegetables and nearly three-quarters of fruits and nuts in the United States. It celebrates the agricultural industry's contributions, including employing over 22.1 million people, driving technological innovations, implementing climate-smart practices, and maintaining strong export markets, with $23.6 billion in agricultural commodities exported in 2022. The resolution also acknowledges the challenges facing agriculture, such as potential land loss, and underscores the importance of agricultural education and preserving the state's agricultural heritage. By designating this day, the California Assembly aims to honor farmers, ranchers, farmworkers, and others involved in the agricultural sector, recognizing their vital role in nourishing the nation and sustaining communities, with the 2025 theme being "Ag at work: Cultivating Careers & Communities."
