AGRO PROGRAMMING San Francisco August 13-17, 2023 Join us in the Golden State for an exciting AGRO program! The theme of the Fall meeting is Harnessing the Power of Data, an inspiring theme for AGRO to engage. While California might be seen as the home of Big Data analytics, we chemists and scientists involved in agriculture love data too! San Francisco is a fantastic location to present your research, collaborate with other scientists and will allow us to finally celebrate 50 years of AGRO! Details on the AGRO 50 and Beyond Anniversary Celebration are now available. The AGRO Technical Program is available on-line - ACCESS PROGRAM  Please contact Aaron Gross, AGRO 2023 Program Chair, if you have any questions.
