Current Issues in the Strawberry Industry: 2024 lectures now available

/ Gerald Holmes

Each year in the Spring academic quarter we invite a series of speakers to Cal Poly to deliver a lecture on a current issue in the California strawberry industry. We just finished this year’s series and thought you might like to see the lineup. Most of the lectures are posted to our YouTube channel. Each one is 45 to 60 min long. Take a look!

Figure 1. Soren Bjorn (CEO of Driscoll’s) lectures in PLSC 450 (Current Issues in the Strawberry Industry). His lecture was titled “Do Strawberries Have a Future in California?”.

Below are links to each presentation:

  1. We grow strawberries in Zambia so very different conditions from California but I love reading all the posts and watching the different lectures that you so generously make available on your website. It is a fantastic resource. Thanks.

    • Greetings ckazunga from Zambia! We’re thrilled to know that you find our content valuable. It is designed for our California growers but we know that others will find it useful as well.
