F3 | Central Valley Community Foundation The F3 (Farms Food Future) Initiative The F3 (Farms Food Future) Initiative is supporting agriculture in California’s Central Valley by developing new ag technology, growing food sustainably using regenerative farming practices, and offering cutting-edge training for quality jobs in the world’s food production capital.
Central San Joaquin Valley – Fresno, Madera, Merced, Tulare, and Kings Counties The F3 Initiative was awarded $65 million from the U.S. Economic Development Administration’s Build Back Better Regional Challenge in September 2022 – the largest federal grant ever awarded to California’s Central Valley.
Despite being the unrivaled food production region in the United States, the Central Valley struggles to spur, adopt, and commercialize innovation. To address these challenges, the F3 Initiative is positioning the Central Valley’s ag-based industry and farmers to be competitive, resilient, and sustainable. The F3 Initiative is a system of three robust programs, called gears: F3 Innovate, F3 Local, and AgTEC Workforce.
F3 Innovate is the nation’s hub for climate-smart agrifood technology and engineering, and is developing university-industry research for the growers and communities who need it most. The F3 Innovate gear includes a dedicated non-profit organization to support entrepreneurs, advance commercialization, build up the innovation ecosystem, and catalyze research collaborations.
F3 Local connects small-scale farmers, food entrepreneurs, and communities with the tools, knowledge, and partnerships they need to grow. The F3 Local gear provides access to appropriate technology, business support, and local market connections—building a more inclusive and resilient food economy. AgTEC Workforce is developing a skilled workforce pipeline for sustainable food production and manufacturing.
The AgTEC gear bridges the skills gap and prepares individuals for the future of agriculture technology, with an opportunity to obtain an AgSystems Certificate through local community colleges. Together with its broad network of partners, F3 is supporting efforts to increase regional GDP from 2. 1% to 3.

NSF has $8.8 billion appropriated and is holding roughly $1 billion of it in a central account earmarked for a White House initiative called Grand Research Challenges. Core programs cannot reach the money. Roughly 400 peer-reviewed, recommended proposals are sitting at the Office of Award Management. Here is what the mechanism actually is, why it is different from the terminations story, and how to plan a submission calendar around it.
