AB 52: Farmer equity: advisory committees.
This bill aims to establish two advisory committees to provide guidance on programs, policies, and services for small-scale and socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers in California. The committees, consisting of members who are small-scale or medium-scale socially disadvantaged farmers or ranchers, will advise the Secretary of Food and Agriculture on their responsibilities under the Farmer Equity Act. The advisory committees will focus on education, outreach, technical assistance, and general needs for these groups, helping to promote equity and inclusivity in California's food and agriculture sector.
