Attendees can expect a day filled with engaging activities, including the groundbreaking ceremony for the state-of-the-art AI Center, which aims to revolutionize agricultural practices through cutting-edge technology.

The event will also feature a tasting showcase for lunch, highlighting the produce developed and produced through the hard work of the GCREC staff and the farmers it supports. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with researchers, industry experts and fellow growers, fostering a collaborative environment for knowledge exchange and networking.
