Hello DRIVE’rs of Change,
I hope you all are enjoying the shift from summer to fall, though it may not really feel like it just yet. In this month’s newsletter, we’re excited to highlight our F3 Initiative: Farms Food Future (F3). Here in the Valley, we’re no strangers to growing food for the world. But how can we elevate our agricultural economy even further? How do we develop innovative technology, manufacture it locally, and export it globally? How can we support the economic mobility of our hardworking farm labor community? And how can we better empower our small farmers of color with services that help boost their revenue? These are the challenges we aim to address through F3.
In community,
Artie Padilla
