Summary

Existing law governs the production, inspection, and distribution of food in this state in order to ensure, among other purposes, the safety and quality of food. The Department of Food and Agriculture is required to promote and protect the agricultural industry of the state, and is required to seek, enhance, protect, and perpetuate the ability of the private sector to produce food and fiber in a way that benefits the general welfare and economy of the state. This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would establish the California Food Policy Council to develop a strategic planning process to provide information for the implementation of California's food policy and to ensure effective interagency coordination of state policies, programs, and activities regarding California's food system. The bill would also set forth legislative findings and declarations regarding the food supply system.
