CSS Wins at Forbes AgTech Summit
CSS is proud to announce that from numerous applicants and 10 finalists, we were presented with the Sustainability Award at the Forbes AgTech Summit event on July 9th, 2015 in Salinas, CA through the Thrive Accelerator Program. Through a zero waste, 3-hour process, CSS exemplifies sustainable practices that not only combat food waste, but also reduce nitrate runoff as well as water use. http://www.thriveaccelerator.com
We were honored to have Lorri Koster, CEO of Mann Packing, as our mentor throughout the Thrive Accelerator program. Her guidance and support have been critical to our success in this competition as well as helping to opening doors to business leaders in the Salinas agriculture community.
Working with our partner, Save Mart Supermarkets, and industry leaders like Mann Packing, CSS is committed to improving sustainable agriculture in the Salinas area as well as throughout California.
