Show Notes
In this episode of "The Good Stuff" presented by the Sonoma County Winegrowers, hosts Virginie Boone and Karissa Kruse talk with Professor Emeritus George Day at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and Co-Chair of the Ag Sustainability Center. Professor Day was one of Karissa's professors when she attended Wharton for her MBA, and the two have a mutual admiration. After her rigorous studies at Wharton, Karissa eventually found her way to Sonoma County and became the Executive Director of Sonoma County Winegrowers. She realized that there was an opportunity to help winegrowers learn how to innovate and that an Ag Center would be a good way to bring people from various industries together to shape goals and practices for improving the economics of farming, sustainability, leadership growth, and adapting farm practices. She asked her former Professor to lead the charge, and he took about a nanosecond to consider before he said yes. Initially meant to be just a year-long project, the Ag Center has blossomed, and more people and perspectives have joined in. And finally, Virginie, Karissa, and Professor Day share their Tuesday Night wine picks.
