LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law establishes the Agricultural Protection Planning Grant Program within the Department of Conservation, to provide planning grants to conserve California’s most productive farmlands and ecologically important rangelands, to advance California’s climate change goals through carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions reductions resulting from the implementation of local
plans, and to maintain local food supplies and agricultural economies through the protection of agricultural lands.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive revision to the stated purposes of the program.
