California is, by far, the nation's leading producer and exporter of agricultural products. The campus community and general public are invited to meet some of the faculty, staff and students who are conducting research to improve this thriving industry. Research projects in progress at Cal Poly Pomona through the Agricultural Research Initiative (ARI) will be showcased on Thursday, Oct. 13, from 3-6 p.m., at the AGRIscapes Center (Building 211).
