AB 937: The Cannella Environmental Farming Act of 1995: Organic Transition Program.

This bill requires the Department of Food and Agriculture to establish and oversee an organic transition program by July 1, 2026. The program aims to provide incentives to farmers and ranchers to transition land to certified organic production. The department will award grants to eligible organizations to support this transition. Additionally, the department will allocate 25% of its budget for organic technical assistance provider organizations to support activities such as preparing and implementing conservation management plans. This program aims to promote the well-being of ecosystems, air quality, and wildlife and their habitats through sustainable agricultural practices.
