This bill establishes a voluntary program, but it’s heading in the right direction: establishes an advisory board to help define “healthy soil” and appropriates five million dollars to educate growers. Let’s hope the board includes a soil specialist educated about the harmful effects of GMOs, herbicides, and pesticides on beneficial microorganisms in the soil.
Email or call Kelly Fajardo and Alonzo Baldonado. The bill heads to their Commerce and Economic Development Committee on Jan. 23:
