grown here.
(e) Family owned farms produce most of the food and fiber produced by the California agricultural industry.
(f) The economic strength of the California’s agricultural industry depends on the ability of farmers and ranchers being able to profitably market the commodities and products raised.
(g) A profitable and healthy farming industry must be sustained by a sound natural resource base of soils, water, and air which is developed, conserved, and maintained to ensure sufficient quantities and the highest optimum quality possible.
