San Jose’s food industry contributes $2.9 billion annually to the city’s economy while helping shape its identity and vitality. Yet many food businesses face challenges: distributors and processors are squeezed for space and new businesses need more incubation opportunities. Join us as we discuss the additional policies and investments that are needed to ensure that food sector businesses start, stay and grow in San Jose.
