Merced AgTech Alliance
Overview
Merced AgTech Alliance brings education, research, industry, and community partners together around agricultural innovation and local economic opportunity. Its connected work includes Merced College workforce pathways, UC Merced research and development, and planned startup infrastructure through Reservoir Farms. The Community Foundation of Merced County helps convene partners and connect community priorities with this activity. Growers, educators, and technology businesses can ask for the appropriate partner referral. Announced facilities remain subject to development and readiness checks; current programs, research access, internships, and startup intake should be confirmed with their individual providers.
