This meeting was originally scheduled for February 9-10, 2015. The meeting was rescheduled due to poor weather conditions.
Are you a farmer interested in produce safety? Are your markets asking for food safety plans or third party verification? Do you want to understand produce safety issues and Good Agricultural Practices as well as the FSMA proposed Produce Rule and third party audits?
