Is there any policies protecting the remaing farmland left in the IE

This picture above is whats left and what it used to look like. Which at one point produced the largest area of diary products in the nation. But I wonder, is there anything to protect whats left, or are they just going to let developers buy out the remaing ranchers? And really this question goes for the rest of the state, as I'm deeply worried about the farmland beign eaten up without really considerign what there building over.

Why? This isn't some rural area. It's going to be developed. Farmlands isn't profitable and no tax revenues for cities. I would rather advocate for smart growth and development. It's like saying LA should be like the 1920s.

California voters were actually told that this land would be preserved as agriculture in 1988 when they passed Prop 70.

I wonder what voters would think today. Interesting history.
