California recently opened a new Farm Bureau office for the first time in almost four decades.
The San Francisco Farm Bureau, situated in the 17th-largest U.S. city, is designed to promote local agriculture and educate community members about food production.
“Discovering the absence of a Farm Bureau in San Francisco, where I have lived for over three decades, was a shock,” State Treasurer Fiona Ma told the Times of San Diego. “This initiative will bridge the gap between urban residents and the origins of their food, fostering an appreciation and understanding that is crucial in today’s world.”
