We want agriculture in California to flourish and believe our role is to make sure solutions to industry problems are available. We do that by working with researchers and start-ups to test, commercialize and scale their ideas.The VINE was established in 2015 with a shared vision of driving innovation in agriculture, food, and biotech. It was initiated and partially funded by UC ANR (University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources) with the aim of providing entrepreneurs in the industry access to the wealth of agricultural expertise present in Cooperative Extension and Research and Extension Centers throughout California.
