Climate Week NYC lunch: California Almonds, Wine Institute, Monarch Tractor

Harnessing California’s spirit of innovation for on-farm climate change solutions at scale

At the confluence of California’s vineyards, orchards and Silicon Valley lie real, landscape-scale solutions to climate change. From the world’s first fully electric tractor to thousands of family farms adopting nature-based and regenerative practices, California’s spirit of innovation is driving food system transformation. In combination with forward-leaning policy and investment from food and beverage companies, almond farmers and wine producers are making measurable progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving soil health and creating co-benefits for water and air quality, biodiversity and communities. Join us for this educational and inspirational lunch showcasing the best of California – bites and sips included!
