California’s Central Valley has long been a center for high-value agriculture, producing tens of billions of dollars of crops annually and making California the top state in the nation in crop production. The Valley also hosts a thriving agricultural processing industry which yields billions more annually in processed foods and beverages.
Innovation in agriculture and food technology continues to drive high-value jobs and economic growth in the Sacramento region despite increased energy, environmental and labor regulation, water and labor shortages, and changing consumer preferences.
The Sacramento area is home to thriving clusters of technology companies focused on seed breeding, biological crop protection, food-processing and food-safety technologies, and more.
UC Davis - the nation's top research institution in Agriculture, Forestry, and Veterinary Science - anchors the region’s research and innovation in ag & food technology.
Together, AgStart and this cluster of industry and academic connections provide a fertile environment for ag & food innovators.
