The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) co-sponsored, attended and presented at the sixth annual Latino Farmer Conference on February 11. The virtual conference presented in Spanish was held to facilitate the creation of networks and provide pertinent information and resources to the Latino farming community. It was hosted by the National Center for Appropriate Technology in partnership with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CDFA Farmer Equity Advisor Thea Rittenhouse gave a presentation about the\u00a0CDFA Farmer Resource Portal<\/a>, which is designed to help farmers and ranchers learn about CDFA grant programs, regulations that affect farmers, CDFA boards and commissions, and resources CDFA offers for farmers and ranchers in multiple languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI specifically mentioned our\u00a0Climate Smart Agriculture programs<\/a>\u00a0and how to find a technical assistance provider to apply and implement the projects, as well as the prioritization of small-scale farmers, Latino farmers and other socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers,\u201d said Rittenhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CDFA Environmental Scientist Cristina Jimenez gave a presentation about inspections in\u00a0CDFA\u2019s Produce Safety Program<\/a>, including what to expect during an inspection, record requirements, and a\u00a0farmer questionnaire<\/a>\u00a0available in Spanish that farmers may complete to find out if they are subject to compliance with the federal\u00a0Produce Safety Rule.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think it was received very well,\u201d Jimenez said of her presentation. \u201cIt also was a good learning experience to hear points of view from other sides of the agricultural world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
