Having an effective and farm-specific Good Agricultural and Good Handling Practices (GHPs) plan helps minimize the risk of food contamination at the farm and processing levels, and having a traceability plan is one of the most important parts of passing a food safety audit and getting certified. A good traceability plan could mean the difference between a grower having his or her entire farm shut down or having one portion of a field excluded from harvest in the case of a recall.

Learn how to develop field and sub-field level traceability plans to minimize your risk of a food recall to the smallest possible area on your farm at these workshops.
