California has a
variety of climate and
land use zones
• Natural diversity allows
diverse agriculture to
thrive
• A relatively small share
of the total land mass
is suitable for highproductivity irrigated
crops

California’s water system
is characterized by an
asynchrony of water
availability and demand
in space and time:
• Availability peaks in
winter in the sparsely
populated north
• Demand peaks in
summer in the Central
Valley (ag) and South
Coast (urban)

California agriculture is more than farming
and is liked to the rest of the economy
• About 600 thousand direct jobs in production and
processing and about 1.3 million including the
ripple effects.
• About $43 billion in direct GDP and about $112
billion including ripple effects.
• Overall agriculture accounts for about 6% of the
economic activity in California
• Farming itself is more than half of that with fruit
leading the way, but California farming has great
diversity

Central Valley agriculture is large and
diverse comprising a significant share of
the whole economy
• About 22% of Central Valley jobs are tied to
agricultural production and processing, about 40%
linked to farm processing
• About 9% of GDP is tied directly to agriculture and
this grows to about 21% when we include the ripple
effects.
• Fruit, tree nuts, vegetables and dairy are the big
contributors to farm value added and employment.

Agriculture also contributes significantly to
the Southern California economy
• About 460 thousand jobs and $42 billion in GDP
derived from agricultural production and processing
when ripple effects are included
• Farming in Southern California accounts for about a
quarter of these totals in the region.
• Greenhouse and nursery, fruit and vegetables are
all major contributors.
