Culture of continuous improvement.
To support on-farm improvements, the Almond Board of California translates research findings into actionable and field-ready recommendations shared with farmers and processors through a variety of educational resources, field workshops and best practices.
In addition to topical resources, almond farmers and processors participate in the California Almond Sustainability Program. Established in 2009 and tailor-made to educate participants about sustainable farming practices whilst facilitating continuous improvement, 22% of California’s productive almond acreage has been assessed to date. Through self-assessments, participants learn about best practices across the spectrum of almond farming topics and share information to help tell the story of how California almonds are grown.
