California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA)

The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) is California’s state-level government agency responsible for promoting and regulating agriculture, food safety, and related programs. CDFA organizes and partners on multiple agriculture and natural-resources-related conferences and events (e.g., the California Farm to School Conference, Farm to Fork/Farm to School programs, small farms conferences, monthly Farm to School network calls) and routinely participates in state-level events addressing land management, farm services, and forestry-related topics. CDFA’s mission and event activity closely match the user intent for agriculture conferences, natural resources summits, state agriculture and farm services gatherings; therefore it is a strong match as a Government/State Agriculture Conference Organizer.
