LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2653, as introduced, Kalra. Smart climate agriculture.

Existing law requires the Department of Food and Agriculture to promote and protect the agricultural industry of the state. Existing law, the Cannella Environmental Farming Act of 1995, requires the department to establish and oversee an environmental farming program to provide incentives to farmers whose practices promote the well-being of ecosystems, air quality, and wildlife and their habitat.

This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation that would encourage smart climate agriculture.
