INTRODUCTION

The LWV California's Food, Soil and Agriculture Committee brings together league members from all over the state to work collaboratively on these three related areas and their impacts on climate change. Specifically, the Committee looks at food loss and food waste; healthy soils; and agriculture. The Committee's focus is on educating league members and their communities, sharing resources with one another, and identifying and then advocating for legislation that supports our work. All LWVC members are welcomed and encouraged to join.
