California’s Department of Food and Agriculture discussed creating a statewide definition of small farms with advisory committees representing small-scale and BIPOC producers. The preliminary proposal could use multiple size tiers and account for ownership, revenue, business structure, and California-specific costs, potentially shaping eligibility for state grants and other assistance.
A revised definition could change which California farms qualify for grants, disaster aid, and technical support, affecting their access to resources for production and farm operations. No direct commodity price effect is established.
