UF and FloridaCommerce partner to build a national agricultural technology hub

The University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences and FloridaCommerce are jointly working to position Florida as the leading center for agricultural technology in the United States. The initiative aims to support the creation of food-focused tech businesses, attract agribusiness investment, and help Florida farmers remain competitive in global markets. Authors frame the effort as both an economic priority and a national food security concern, noting that locally produced food reduces dependence on imports that can be disrupted by distant events.
