Most of the country's population now lives in urban areas, yet it makes political decisions concerning land and agriculture. Farmers constantly make environmental decisions and try to understand urban thinking. It therefore seemed appropriate to create an organization such as Agri-Culture to promote mutual understanding of a whole range or topics concerning agriculture.
The educational organization, Agri-Culture, provides opportunities for the community to learn about the #1 industry in Santa Cruz County and the Pajaro Valley plus the cutting-edge landscape for agriculture in Santa Clara County. Two of this non-profit organization's programs have won national awards.
