From Wall Street to Silicon Valley,
EVERY GREAT INDUSTRY HAS ITS EPICENTER.
FOR AGRICULTURE, IT’S THE AMERICAN ROYAL.

We are committed to positioning the American Royal as the central hub for food and agricultural education, engagement, and innovation. From classrooms and arenas to gardens and labs, every part of the campus is designed to bring people closer to the land, animals, science, and stories that shape our food system. The Epicenter connects producers and consumers, past and future, tradition and technology, ultimately making Kansas City a global destination for agricultural discovery.
