加州食品与农业厅就《生物多样性指导原则》草案征求公众意见：书面意见11月26日截止 最终版年内发布
加州食品与农业厅（CDFA）10月26日在萨克拉门托宣布，就全厅框架文件《生物多样性指导原则》草案公开征求意见，书面意见征集至11月26日下午5时截止。该原则将指导该厅今后在加州农业景观中支持、增强与保护生物多样性的工作，用于项目开发、工作组参与及其他生物多样性相关行动。
该厅说明，这份草案源于其《加州农业气候韧性战略》中的一项行动要求，阐述该厅在耕作土地上推进生物多样性的长期愿景。农场主、牧场主、技术援助提供者、农业组织与公众均可提交意见；口头意见可在11月12日举行的「韧性与可持续农业科学顾问小组」会议上提出。该厅将审阅并公布征集期内收到的全部书面意见，并于今年晚些时候发布最终版《生物多样性愿景声明》；由于这不是一项监管行动，该厅不会对意见作正式逐条回应。
加州食品与农业厅负责气候与耕作土地事务的副厅长 Virginia Jameson 表示，气候危机与生物多样性衰退深度交织，研究显示，增强农田生物多样性能提升农场内外的韧性，是保障生态系统健康与长期粮食安全的关键。

California Food and Agriculture Department Seeks Public Comment on Draft Biodiversity Guiding Principles Through Nov. 26
The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) announced in Sacramento on October 26 that it is accepting public comments on its draft Biodiversity Guiding Principles, a department-wide framework designed to guide future efforts to support, enhance, and protect biodiversity across California's agricultural landscapes. Written comments are due by 5 p.m. on November 26, 2026.
The draft, which stems from an action item in CDFA's Climate Resilience Strategy for California Agriculture, outlines the department's long-term aspirations to advance biodiversity in working lands and will guide program development, work-group participation, and other biodiversity-related actions. Farmers, ranchers, technical assistance providers, agricultural organizations, and the general public are encouraged to submit feedback; oral comments will also be accepted at the Science Advisory Panel on Resilient and Sustainable Farming meeting on November 12, 2026. CDFA will review and publish all written comments received and release a final Biodiversity Vision Statement later this year. Because this is not a regulatory action, the department will not formally respond to comments.
"The climate crisis and biodiversity decline are deeply intertwined," said Virginia Jameson, CDFA's Deputy Secretary for Climate and Working Lands. "Modern research tells us that enhancing on-farm biodiversity has positive benefits for resilience both on and off-farm," she said, calling it key to ecosystem health and long-term food security.
