Rural Action | Good Agricultural Practices

Food safety is a top priority for food producers, handlers, and other businesses working with fresh produce. Safe production and handling practices help reduce the risk of illness that can result from poor food safety practices. This video provides an overview of curriculum Rural Action and OSU Extension use to train individuals in Good Agricultural Practices, a program created by Cornell University. Following the steps outlined and consulting with your local Extension office or health department can help your business improve food safety, quality, and expand your business in new ways.
