Bavarian US Offices for Economic Development

As September draws to a close, we are reminded of how the month began: the visit of a fact-finding mission from Bavaria led by the 1st Vice Minister and Director General of the State Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Tourism (StMELF). Among the topics explored, the most relevant ones were the digitalization of agriculture (#AgTech), drought resistance, the role of A.I., strategies for improved #climate_resilience (namely the threat of #wildfires), and #Foodtech. Thanks to California Secretary of Food and Agriculture Karen Ross and her team (especially Exec. Dir. Josh Eddy), State Assemblymember and proud former Munich resident Tasha Boerner Horvath, founder Dr. Oliver Zahn (Climax Foods), Entrepreneur Nick Halla, University of California, Davis, American Farm Bureau Federation, Bakar BioEnginuity Hub at University of California, Berkeley, #BearCreekWinery (Brandie Baumback), and countless others for making the visit a success. - James E.
