The UC Cooperative Extension recently undertook a substantial grower survey project tilted the Grower Needs Assessment for Sustainable Food Production in San Diego County. The survey generated 296 responses that have now been measured in a final report. The report states, “The primary goal of this research project is to develop a better understanding of local farmers and the current situation of local agriculture, industry trends, issues and challenges impacting its long-term sustainability.” Along with UCCE and other organizations, Farm Bureau will be studying the results to see how the farm community can be better served.
