Bridging the GAPs
Fruit and vegetable growers are continually assessing their operations to determine where they can limit risk and increase productivity. As a result, many have expressed interest in learning more about how on-farm preharvest water treatment systems work and how they may fit within their current setup. Join this virtual training to learn about different approaches to treating water on-farm; how to implement these systems to meet requirements of the Produce Safety Rule; and how to verify that the system is operating as intended. There are two upcoming course dates: April 10th-11th (1-5 PM) and May 29th-30th (1-5 PM). Both courses will be offered online via Zoom.
Meat & Poultry HACCP

Interspersed between the lectures are hands-on breakout groups and exercises geared to the meat industry to provide the attendee a more in-depth knowledge of developing and monitoring a HACCP food safety plan. The upcoming workshop will be offered on April 23th-25th, 2024 at the UGA Food Science Building in Athens, GA.
