Current Issues in the Strawberry Industry: 2025 lectures now available

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. All lectures are posted to our YouTube channel. Each one is 50-70 min long. Take a look!
