ABC: an innovation-fueled future

 

Almond Board of California (ABC) has announced a research commitment that will benefit the almond community in 2017 and beyond.

Through this program, ABC is investing USD 4.7 m in 82 independent, third-party research projects exploring next-generation farming and sustainability practices. Almond Board-funded research and the improvement opportunities it represents for almond growers is strengthened with grants from the California Department of Food and Agriculture. It covers a range of areas including irrigation efficiency, air quality and honey bee health. Through ABC, the California almond community has invested USD 60 m to build a foundation of research on environmental, production and other issues to continually evolve best practices. This effort includes the Accelerated Innovation Management (AIM) programme.    •
