AgTech Innovation Hub    Brainstorming Session

May contain: nature, outdoors, countryside, aircraft, helicopter, transportation, and vehicle

We are excited to invite you to an Agtech Innovation Hub Brainstorming Session, which will be held on May 30 in Hopland. 

Purpose: To assess interest in a regional approach to establish a North Bay AgTech Innovation Hub. 

Context: The introduction of advanced technologies into our local agriculture and natural resource management communities could deliver value to regional farming and natural resource management operations, contribute innovations to increase economic diversification and climate resiliency, and yield exportable products and services to other markets. Application of these technologies could span efficiency, quality, yields, land and natural resource management, water management, human resources, and others yet to be seen. 

The Brainstorming Session will provide a platform for open discussions, idea sharing, and collaboration among local stakeholders in the agriculture industry. Your participation and contribution to the session would be highly valuable and appreciated. Topics may include:
