Student Networking Activity
After attending the AFA Crop Science Institute, I came back to North Carolina with new insight on what agriculture and sustainability looks like in California. From traveling to processing tomato fields, meeting amazing students from across the country and meeting employees of BASF, UPL, Syngenta and Wilbur-Ellis, I thoroughly enjoyed attending this great event."
