The Dirt on the Ingredients

UC Davis is a global leader in strawberry breeding with varieties developed on campus making up over half the world’s harvest. We’re also improving almond farming for water-smart, sustainable orchards, and developing disease-resistant spinach to boost quality and resilience.
