For over 70 years Lundberg Family Farms has been using methods of farming that care for the environment. Based in Richvale, California, the Lundbergs helped pioneer the organic rice-growing movement in the U.S., and now produce a variety of organic, eco-farmed products, including brown rice, rice cakes, rice chips and risottos. We spoke to Jessica Lundberg, Chairman of the Board for Lundberg Family Farms and the Nursery Manager, about incorporating sustainable practices into all aspects of the business, from field to fork.
Food production is such a basic element to our civilization, utilizes so many resources from the earth, and touches so many parts of our society that it is imperative that those in the food industry be responsible for the part they play. By employing more sustainable business practices, the food industry can affect the future of our agricultural genetic resources, the healthfulness of products and the overall health of our worldwide population.
