Who We Are

Our Center and its multi-disciplinary faculty are uniquely situated in California, the primary producer of fruits and vegetables in the U.S., for the development of science-based information to increase the quality of fruits and vegetables. Our vision is that by improving the color, texture, flavor, and nutritional quality of fruits and vegetables, consumers will eat more of them and, therefore, improve their overall health and well-being.
