Now that the dust has settled, let’s recap Day 3 of the Sustainable Agtech Delegation, hosted by Omer Fein and Matan Bostick. Day 3 was all about Sacramento, beginning with a networking brunch cohosted with Greater Sacramento Economic Council and Lucy Lu Roberts. We had a stimulating discussion about the local business ecosystem and how Israeli entrepreneurs can work more closely with key stakeholders. Many local leaders attended, including Patrick Dosier of California Association of Pest Control Advisers (CAPCA), Spencer Bowen from the city of Woodland, Donna Boggs, Stephen Suderman, and Nikki Sims from Growth Factory. Next stop was the the CA Department of Food and Agriculture, where we discussed the regulatory environment and other key topics in California agriculture. Thanks to our hosts Karen Ross, Josh Eddy, and Christine (Robbins) Birdsong for spending time with our party. Finally, we concluded the delegation with Blue Diamond, the largest almond grower in the world. We discussed industry challenges and how Blue Diamond integrates new technologies across their business. In conclusion, the Sustainable Agtech delegation was a fabulous success. It was the first Israeli Agtech delegation to California in over 6 years. We expect many new opportunities to arise for Israeli startups as a result of our efforts. Special thanks to our partners at the Israel Export Institute מכון היצוא, and Yonatan Sabag for recruiting participants. We look forward to future collaborations!

Day 2 of the Sustainable Agtech Delegation was unforgettable, thanks to months of preparation from Omer Fein and Matan Bostick. The day began at Bayer | Crop Science in Woodland, CA. Alberto Iandolino, who manages Open Initiative and R&D Alliances, was an incredible host. We were thrilled to meet people across multiple teams at Bayer during our presentation and discussion sessions. Thank you to Alessandra Frizzi, James Sun, Sarah Mills, Angela Cecil, Stephanie Pedroni, and many others for attending and offering your perspective! Next stop was just down the street at Syngenta Vegetable Seeds. Bruno Foncelle warmly greeted us and shared illuminating insights into Syngenta's processes, priorities, and unending commitment to continuous improvement. We were honored to meet valued team members like CHIBWE CHUNGU, Jeff Mills, and Brindha Narasimhamoorthy. After a quick stop for lunch, we made the journey across the Sacramento River to Yuba City, one of the premier agricultural communities in California. Our party was truly blown away by the impressive hospitality and professionalism exhibited by our hosts; Scott Powell, EDFP, Stephanie Younger, Ashley Potočnik, and Rachel Downs. Our time in Yuba began at City Hall with growers and elected officials, including the Vice Mayor, the Agricultural Commissioner, and Board of Supervisors. After a fascinating discussion about agricultural challenges specific to Yuba and Sutter Counties, our party ventured to an almond farm and a prune processing facility. It was an exceptional day, and the seeds of future fruitful relationships were planted between Israeli agtech and American growers, businesses, and elected leaders. Special thanks to Yonatan Sabag and our partners at the Israel Export Institute מכון היצוא. That's all for Day 2. Stay tuned for our recap of Day 3!
