Food crop production in controlled environments has become an increasingly important sector of both United States and global agriculture. While CEA growers are better able to control some hazards of outdoor production, indoor growers must still manage risks inside their farms in both growing and packing operations.
The CEA Alliance, a trade association of CEA growers and partners, convened a group of members to draft a food safety best practices document for CEA growers of leafy greens, including fresh herbs. Working with IFPA’s food safety team and outside expert consultants and reviewers, the Alliance has just published the new guidance document. Join us in this recorded Virtual Town Hall for this informative session to learn more about food safety efforts in the CEA sector.
