DESCRIPTION
On behalf of the National Citrus Nursery Association (NCNA) and the California Citrus Nursery Society (CCNS), we are excited to invite you to our joint conference, taking place November 19th - 20th, 2024. This event will bring together industry leaders, researchers, and regulatory representatives to discuss the latest advancements and challenges facing the citrus nursery industry.
​
This conference is made possible by the USDA's PPA 7721 Project, which is funding the event as part of its broader efforts to enhance the sustainability and resilience of the U.S. citrus nursery industry. The project titled "Enhancing U.S. Citrus Nursery Sustainability: Collaborative Stakeholder Alignment & Engagement" is focused on fostering alignment within the citrus nursery sector across multiple states. The goal is to bridge knowledge gaps, promote best practices, and ensure the production of clean, disease-free citrus nursery stock. This conference will serve as a key platform to bring together stakeholders, including growers, researchers, regulators, and industry representatives, to discuss critical issues and build a stronger, more collaborative future for the citrus nursery industry.
