Farmers across California are warning that the Golden State’s agricultural heritage is facing growing pressure from rising costs, foreign imports, rapid development, and the steady loss of farmland.
Across California, more farmers are speaking out and encouraging residents to support California-grown products instead of relying heavily on food imported from overseas.
Many say the issue goes beyond economics.
Because once farmland disappears… it rarely comes back.
One California farmer put it simply:
“We can build more subdivisions. We can build more warehouses. But we can't replace productive farmland once it's paved over.”
California is known for its:
vegetable farms
strawberry fields
nut orchards
vineyards
cattle ranches
family farms
rural communities
and agricultural traditions that stretch back generations
From the vast farmland of the Central Valley… to the cattle ranches of Northern California… to the orchards, vineyards, and family farms scattered across the state…
Agriculture remains one of California’s most important industries and a major part of the state's identity.
But farmers say the challenges continue growing:
rising fuel costs
expensive equipment and supplies
competition from imported products
drought and extreme weather
water shortages and regulations
labor shortages
and development steadily consuming farmland
Many Californians now say protecting local agriculture means protecting:
farmland
family farms
water resources
rural communities
California-grown food
and future generations of California farmers
Because California’s farms don't just produce food.
They help preserve open space, support local economies, protect rural communities, and keep a piece of old California alive.

Because once it's gone... it's gone.
