Analysis of California agricultural issues
We study topics such as international markets, invasive pests and diseases, the value of agricultural research and development, agricultural policy and the rural environment among others. The issues are often global, but we emphasize implications for agriculture and natural resources in California. The audience for AIC research and outreach includes decision makers in agriculture and government, scholars and students, journalists and the general public. MOCA: The Measure of California Agriculture This publication documents California agriculture and its relationships to the rest of the economy by providing statistical details and an overview of unifying forces and trends. Selected key facts from this publication are also listed in a brochure format. AIC White Papers on California Agricultural Issues This series of 15 AIC white papers outlines many major issues facing California agriculture. They describe the important factual circumstances, policies and economic relationships surrounding each issue. They do not analyze in any detail implications of alternative responses to the issues. These white papers are designed to provide quick readable introductions to major issues that will be useful to industry and stakeholders and analysts, as well as public decision makers and advisors.
