California’s Central Valley is a center for high-value agriculture, producing tens of billions of dollars of products annually and making California the top producer in the nation.
The Sacramento area is home to thriving clusters of technology companies focused on seed breeding, agricultural biologics, food-processing and food-safety, and more. UC Davis - the nation's top research institution in Agriculture, Forestry, and Veterinary Science - is a short drive away.
Together, AgStart and this cluster of industry and academic connections provide a fertile environment for innovators in Ag | Food | Health.
