An ongoing ag-tech project funded by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative just embarked on one of its first case studies, a proposal led by rice expert Pam Ronald of UC Davis.
Why it matters: The rice study is a reminder that CZI is among the largest philanthropist organizations actively investing in climate science.
CZI is the philanthropic group of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan. It has awarded nearly $3 billion in grants and invested roughly $150 million since it was founded in 2015.
