Ag Innovations
Ag Innovations cultivates the ideas and actions needed for healthy farms, communities, and ecosystems. Our work has a common theme: a dedication to unlocking the desire for change and innovation that is possible when we bring diverse leaders together to address challenges. Our work is time-tested, as demonstrated by the decade-long contributions of projects like the California Roundtable on Agriculture and the Environment (CRAE). CRAE is synonymous with thoughtful leadership on divisive issues between agriculture and environmental perspectives. Since our founding in 1999, we have been active in growing local leadership and capacity through our regional food system alliances, which now extend across California and into Arizona. The California Roundtable on Water and Food Supply has literally been rewriting the paradigm of how to manage water in California since 2006. Its work is widely cited by water managers and leaders around the state and continues to push the envelope on innovative solutions to one of the greatest challenges our state has ever had to address. Because of our deep expertise on food systems and collaborations, organizations around the country seek us out to partner on their projects. We bring our research, process design, and facilitation skills to clients as diverse as the James Beard Foundation and Second Harvest Food Bank, to help them assure the best possible outcomes from their collaboration efforts.
