51 - GENERAL AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES

This program provides the fiscal and policy oversight of the federal grants awarded that promote California agriculture. In addition, this program serves as the central point of contact for logistical coordination of all departmental resources, provides industry and agency coordination on environmental issues affecting agriculture, and provides centralized communications to our agricultural industry, including Agricultural Commissioners and the statewide fairgrounds.

This program also partially reimburses counties for carrying out agricultural programs authorized by the Food and Agricultural Code under the supervision of the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
