Western Growers strives to be the leading voice for strategies to advance climate smart efforts and sustainability in agriculture. We understand that the best way to plan ahead is to be proactive now. Much like our members, we are engaged in numerous sustainability initiatives to provide information for public awareness and help respond to a wide range of evolving sustainability demands.
The WG Center for Innovation & Technology was created to help identify industry priorities, discover technologies to address those priorities, set up testing, facilitate industry feedback and communicate progress.
Water quality and supply has never been more important. Western Growers puts water at the forefront of planning, innovation and advocacy.
Climate change affects growers in many ways. We believe that support for our members needs to come in multiple forms, from legislative to technological advancements and beyond.
Western Growers, in partnership with the Stewardship Index for Specialty Crops (SISC), introduces an advanced online tool developed with SupplyShift that allows growers, packer shippers, and brands to establish baselines and offers visualizations of trends to help gauge sustainability efforts within operations and across supply chains.
