Jeani Ferrari, Turlock

Jeani has a passion for long-term sustainability for food production in our local region.  She grew up in Stanislaus County and as a child watched Los Angeles County change quickly from the number one agricultural county in the nation to the poster child for urban sprawl.  Not only does she work to save what many consider the most productive farmland in the world, but also to promote the best long-range land use for the next generations of Valley people.

Jeani speaks before City Councils, Boards of Supervisors, service organizations and classrooms regularly.  As an advocate, she writes Op-ed articles for newspapers and appears on local TV shows.
