challenges through innovation
and ingenuity.
The agriculture industry has never faced so many challenges. Never before have farmers faced such intensive regulatory and marketplace demands even as key resources become scarcer.
To help our members do more with less, Western Growers launched the Western Growers Center for Innovation and Technology (WGCIT) in Salinas, CA. The Center was created to help identify industry priorities, discover technologies to address those priorities, set up testing, facilitate industry feedback and communicate progress to California, Arizona and Colorado fresh produce farmers.
