WG_2020-YearInReview

Increasing its industry-leading efforts to quicken the pace of technology solutions for the fresh produce industry, Western Growers has added Walt Duflock as Vice President, Innovation. In this role, Duflock will be singularly focused on accelerating agtech for Western Growers’ member companies, including expanding the footprint of the Western Growers Center for Innovation & Technology.

The world seems smaller than ever, and the Western Growers Center for Innovation & Technology has grown its footprint and its voice through some unique methods: “Innovating in Challenging Times.” A weekly webinar to showcase resident companies and personnel. “Voices of the Valley.” An AgNet West Radio program to develop broader awareness of our work. Social Media. Sharing key takeaways to show support for our resident companies. Due to the seeds that we planted in 2020, the new year is already shaping up to be one of our most successful ever. We are growing and expanding international partnerships in the United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand through communications and field trials.
