NATURAL
RESOURCES
 On water issues, FFVA plays an important role
shaping policy at the local, state and federal levels. At the farm
level, FFVA helps members by stepping in to help solve concerns
before they grow into costly problems. The association also works to
ensure that industry is adequately represented on all relevant water
advisory and oversight committees. FFVA monitors the activities of
regional water management districts, state agencies, local governments
and the Florida Legislature, and advises members of regulatory actions
that could affect their ability to access or manage important water
resources.
To compete in a global marketplace, Florida producers must have an
adequate supply of affordable, acceptable quality water. Florida's
burgeoning population is likely to mean competition for resources into
the future, which could have dire consequences for agriculture. That's
why FFVA will continue to support and encourage the development of
alternative sources of water while protecting the interests of
agriculture.
