North State–Redwood Coast Ag-Tech Alliance
Overview
North State–Redwood Coast Ag-Tech Alliance connects agricultural technology, workforce development, and climate-smart practices in Northern California. Its public project plan emphasizes small farms and describes coordinated work on technical assistance, demonstration farms, virtual fencing, irrigation evaluation, and business support. The North State Planning and Development Collective leads coordination with regional research, extension, agriculture, and economic development partners. Farmers, educators, entrepreneurs, and community organizations can approach the coordinating team about the workstream relevant to their needs. Published plans do not establish current intake; confirm rollout and availability directly.
