Former California ag secretary A.G. Kawamura says he is “saddened” by the way agriculture is being treated in the U.S.
“How different groups attack agriculture. How so many folks looks at agriculture as if we’re some entity that is conspiring to make things worse, whether it’s with the environment, whether it’s with food safety, whether it’s with the amount of water we use,” Kawamura says.
Kawamura, who was California’s ag secretary from 2003 to 2010, is a third generation fruit and vegetable grower.
