Every year CFFN members, representing the diversity of food & farming issues facing the state from hunger and nutrition to farmer livelihood and food chain worker protections, collectively identify policies important for the state’s food and farming system. We ask Legislators to prioritize these bills to ensure California’s policies better serve the health, ecological and economic needs of the state.
