Three Vacancies Open on Key Agricultural Oversight Board
The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) is now accepting applications to fill three vacancies on the Fertilizer Inspection Advisory Board, a crucial body that helps oversee the safety, quality, and effectiveness of fertilizing materials used across the state.
This advisory board supports the Fertilizing Materials Inspection Program, which plays a central role in protecting agricultural productivity while upholding environmental standards.
Board Openings Include Industry and Public Seats
Of the three available seats:
- Two are designated for industry members
- One is reserved for a public representative
Each appointment is for a term of up to three years. While board members serve on a volunteer basis, travel expenses are reimbursable, and the role provides a direct opportunity to influence California’s agricultural policy and product standards.
Eligibility and How to Apply
To qualify, applicants must:
- Hold a current fertilizing materials license
or - Represent a licensed firm operating in California
This is a valuable opportunity for professionals and concerned citizens alike to help shape the direction of fertilizer oversight in California.
The application deadline is August 29, giving interested individuals time to prepare and submit the necessary documentation.
Why It Matters
The Fertilizer Inspection Advisory Board ensures that fertilizing materials used in California meet strict safety and performance standards. The board’s work directly supports crop health, environmental protection, and consumer confidence in agricultural products.
