Sustainability: The Almond Version
The Almond Board through the Environmental Committee has been exploring
the concept and what it means for almond growing for over 5 years.
The definition of sustainable almond farming, developed through focus groups
with almond farmers is:
Sustainable almond farming utilizes production
practices that are economically viable and are based
upon scientific research, common sense and a
respect for the environment, neighbors and
employees. The result is a plentiful, healthy and safe
food product.
