Although California and Australia are in opposite hemispheres, our climates – and the associated challenges — are profoundly similar. As California continues to lead the nation in agricultural production, we must look to our international partners to find innovative ways to produce high quality foods while also practicing water conservation.
Join the conversation as farmers, research scientists and government representatives from Australia and California discuss irrigation water management and technologies for use in specialty crop production.
