Welcome to the monthly San Diego AgTech Gathering, a monthly community meetup. Start your morning with purpose and connection at the San Diego AgTech Gathering — a monthly meetup bringing together San Diego's agriculture, food, and agtech communities at the future home of the Escondido AgX Hub on Quince Street. Whether you’re a grower, technologist, entrepreneur, researcher, or industry champion, this is your space to gather, sip, and spark ideas. This month's theme: How Founders Can Build With Farmers, Not Around Them. Our guest speaker this month is Jared Criscuolo, founder and CEO of Upcycle & Co. Too often, technology and agriculture operate in parallel instead of together. This gathering will explore what it looks like when founders and farmers actually work side by side — sharing a featured conversation alongside open networking time. Coffee provided. Good conversations guaranteed. This meet-up is part of the broader vision behind Escondido AgX, a collaborative ecosystem aimed at fostering innovation in agriculture, food production, and sustainability through community, programming, and place. Check out highlights from the last AgX Gathering to get a taste of the energy.
