Pamela Sweeten attended California State University Stanislaus in the heart of the great San Joaquin Valley. Having grown up in such a diverse agricultural area she found it of little surprise that she ended up in an agriculture related industry.
Pamela has been marketing almonds for growers since th early 1990’s and feels that what she does for growers growers is a vital link from the field to the fork. Just as the ScoringAg system plays in the long-term sustainability of production agriculture, not only to ensure safe domestic consumption, but also in terms of sustaining a valuable export market, and creating added value at the farm level.
Sweeten has also been active in California Women for Agriculture and American AgriWomen, where she serves as the specialty crop committee chairperson.
