around the world.
Buyers of almonds around the world are asking for assurances that almonds have been grown sustainably. In response, the California Almond
Sustainability Program was introduced last year, which through a self-assessment allows almond growers to provide information on the practices
they use on the farm. Since then, more than 100 growers have participated and the program has been expanded. This symposium will feature
information on what almond buyers are expecting, what the program is and has found so far, and what growers experience with the program.
Almond growers have appreciated the opportunity to get credit for all the efforts they are making to be sustainable.
