In agriculture, GAPs or GAP stands for Good Agricultural Practices. Food safety begins with sound practices on the farm, especially with fresh vegetable and fruit produce. This workshop provides growers with a foundation for on-farm food safety. It teaches practices you can use and helps you learn how to prepare for a GAP audit to Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Produce Safety Rule, or just increase ability to provide safe food. Many fresh produce retailers now require their suppliers to have third party audits to verify safe food production and handling practices on the farm. By becoming food safety compliant, producers will stay competitive in the specialty produce business. This training is intended for those growing products for commercial sale and will include the topics on the this agenda:

Worker Training, Hygiene, and Health
Water Use
Postharvest Water Use
Soil Amendments
Cleaning and Sanitation
Traceability and Recall
Crisis Management
Other Important Practices
