Abstract

California’s land use trends include a significant reduction of land in farms and total cropland, together with conversion of land used for annual field crops to tree and vine crops. The significant investment in perennial crop production has increased tree nuts, vineyards, and other specialty crops’ share of irrigated land use from 30% in 1959 to over 65% in 2017.
