The California State Board of Food and Agriculture is a fifteen-member state board, appointed by the governor, and carefully selected to represent a broad range of agricultural commodities, a variety of geographic regions and both the University of California and California State University academic systems.
The California State Board of Food and Agriculture is responsible for advising the governor and the secretary of CDFA on agricultural issues and consumer needs. The Board often acts as a host to bring together local, state, and federal government officials, agricultural representatives and citizens to discuss current issues of concern to California agriculture.
