These lands contribute to the economic betterment of local areas and the entire state and are an important source of food, fiber, and other agricultural products.

A program of this nature will only be effective when used in concert with local planning and zoning strategies to conserve agricultural land.(f) Funding is necessary to better address the needs of conserving agricultural land near urban areas.(Added by Stats. 1995, Ch. 931, Sec. 1.
