Critical Resources for Agriculture’s Next Era

We’re building the infrastructure to secure food production, scale new technologies, and reinvest in rural economies.

A single stretch of farmland produces one quarter of the nation’s food.

F3 Innovate is a nonprofit founded in California's Central Valley to develop the region into the global epicenter for innovation in agriculture and food security. Where the scale of production helps build and test solutions that strengthen our most vital supply chain.
