AgriTech is one of the few sectors where data science work has an obvious, tangible payoff.
Better models mean less wasted water, healthier crops, and more resilient supply chains, not abstract metrics on a dashboard.
San Francisco remains a genuine hub for this kind of work, with deep pools of agricultural and technical talent sitting side by side.
Few fields offer this much room to grow a serious data science career while working on problems that matter.
