Sacramento, California - Yesterday at the State Capitol, CDFA secretary Karen Ross joined the California Strawberry Commission and other agricultural organizations, representatives of Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, and members of the state legislature for the signing of an agreement to create the Strawberry Sustainability Research and Education Center at Cal Poly.
The center is a first-of-its-kind concept that will focus on applied research to keep strawberry farming viable in California and also provide Cal Poly faculty and students with ongoing instructional opportunities.
