communities. Topics addressed may include climate change, water or air 
quality issues, pesticides, toxics, food loss and waste, environmental 
justice, emergency response, enforcement and compliance, technology and 
innovation, and other topics of environmental importance pertaining to 
agriculture and rural communities. The charter for the FRRCC was
