California Foundation
Agricultural Contractor in Sacramento, CA
Our goal is to increase awareness and understanding of agriculture among California's educators and students. Our vision is an appreciation of agriculture by all. Agriculture is the very basis of civilization the food we eat, the clothing we wear, the material of our homes and many of our traditions and values all coming from agriculture and collectively setting the pace for a nation's standard of living. As generations of Americans become more distant from their agrarian origins, fewer and fewer people understand agriculture's importance to society.
