Statewide Advocacy

Cultivo Consulting has extensive experience advocating for "tough" issues from Sacramento to the local community level. The Partners of Cultivo Consulting are respected and experienced when it comes to advocating for non-profits, labor unions, and coalitions across the state.

In rural communities across California, environmental health issues are of great concern, from air quality, to water quality to illnesses caused due to ones environment. The issue of pesticide exposure and its health effects on community residents resonates across regions. Working with community advocacy organizations, community residents and other unlikely allies, together we have been able to elevate the conversation around pesticides into a public health issue that affects all residents - in the fields, at home and in the community. With leadership from legislators, significant legislative victories such as the Pesticide Drift Protection Act of 2004 have been passed, and community has played an integral role in the development of regulations around pesticide applications/use and drift prevention.
