This summer, high school students in Lodi, California, will once again visit local wineries to learn the trade through a combination of hands-on internships and college classes. The first initiative of its kind is the result of a growing partnership between the district, Delta College, the Lodi Winegrape Commission and the nonprofit San Joaquin A+.
Join The 74 and the Progressive Policy Institute on Wednesday at 3 PM ET for a behind-the-scenes look at the Growing Futures initiative and how it aims to foster a more inclusive agriculture sector. You hear it from experts Stuart Spencer Executive Director of the Lodi Winegrape Commission, Kai Kung, CEO of San Joaquin A+, Kathy Stonum, Winemaker at Stonum Vineyards and Francesca Stonum, Operations Manager at Stonum Vineyards.
