Issues: Economic Prosperity

Food and agriculture are a foundation of California’s economy and will continue to fuel its future. It is imperative that farmers, ranchers, and entrepreneurs remain profitable and continue to invest in the improvement of their enterprises. Roots of Change advocates for more and creative investment, intelligent regulation, and continuing market development to maintain the economic vitality of our food and agriculture businesses.

The movement for healthy food and agriculture began and has grown largely as a result of non-profit organizations. The non-profits we have highlighted here reflect the breadth of issues covered by the movement.

Roots of Change believes that abundant, safe, healthy, fresh, and affordable food is a foundation for a positive future for all Californians. In a market-based economy, powerful solutions must come from entrepreneurs who apply sustainable principles and practices in their businesses.

Roots of Change is working together with California’s farmers and ranchers to ensure that every aspect of our food—from the time it’s grown to the time it’s eaten—is healthy, safe, profitable, and fair for those who grow it and for the state where it’s grown.
