Announcing the 7th Annual 2026 AZ Agribusiness Roundtable!

The Water Management Certificate Program is a unique collaboration between the Agribusiness & Water Council of Arizona, the Morrison School of Agribusiness and the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering at Arizona State University.  The objective of this program is to train individuals who are or will be employed by public and private institutions tasked with managing water resources. 

 For over six decades, Yuma Fresh Vegetable Association has believed in the importance of providing an opportunity for discussion and strategic action regarding any problems facing the industry. By coming together and solving problems in a cooperative atmosphere, ideas and discussion are turned into an action plan that has real, positive benefits for Yuma’s agriculture industry.  

 The Morrison School of Agribusiness within the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University will prepare you to lead in this competitive, sophisticated and global industry and will give you an advantage in understanding its unique challenges and practices.   Agribusiness is the largest export industry in the U.S. economy.

 The Maricopa Water District (MWD) was formally organized in 1925, as a political subdivision and an irrigation and water conservation district under Arizona state statutes and was successfully completed in 1927. MWD is the only privately financed reclamation project of its kind. MWD provides water and power to service an area of approximately 60 square miles.

 Farm Bureau is an independent, non-governmental grassroots organization that analyzes problems and formulates action to achieve educational improvement, economic opportunity, and social advancement, and thereby promoting national well-being. 

  Buckeye Water Conservation and Drainage District (BWCDD) was established in 1922 by the farmers of the Buckeye Valley and Buckeye Irrigation Company for the purpose of repairing and maintaining the Buckeye Canal, managing high water levels of the aquifer to allow for adequate leeching of alkali in the soil, and delivering nearly 130,000 AC-FT of irrigation annually to over 17,000 acres.

 We have developed a patented non-intrusive process to reverse desertification, rehabilitate degraded soils and reduce water and fertilizer consumption. Our product, which builds on years of R&D, is called Liquid natural Clay (LNC) and is proved and validated by independent third-party organizations to reduce water consumption up to 50% and increase crops yields. 

 The Arizona-Mexico Commission (AMC) is Arizona’s premier cross-border nonprofit organization. Our mission is to improve the economic prosperity and quality of life for all Arizonans through strong, public/private collaborations in advocacy, trade, networking and information.
