SFS CAFT Produce Safety Alliance Grower Training & Aquaponics and Intensive Containerized Hydroponics
PRODUCE SAFETY ALLIANCE GROWER TRAINING COURSE
Date: May 14, 2018
Cost: $199.00
This curriculum covers the FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirements as well as Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) for on-farm food safety. This training is one way to meet the requirements of 21CFR Part 112.22(c) which requires that at least one supervisor or responsible party from a farm subject to the FSMA Produce Safety Rule must have successfully completed food safety training at least equivalent to that received under standardized curriculum recognized as adequate by the Food and Drug Administration.
The Food Safety Modernization Act Produce Safety Rule states that: The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) enables FDA to better protect public health by strengthening the food safety system. It enables FDA to focus more on preventing food safety problems rather than relying primarily on reacting to problems after they occur. As a key element of this preventive approach, FDA was mandated under FSMA to establish science-based, minimum standards for the safe growing, harvesting, packing, and holding of produce on farms to minimize contamination that could cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
AQUAPONICS AND INTENSIVE CONTAINERIZED HYDROPONICS:
Date: May 15-16, 2018
Cost: $249.00
Producing fish and fresh produce in aquaponics facilities provides an alternative for intensive agriculture reducing the need for artificial inputs. Aquaponics is a growing area for urban gardening and intensive agricultural systems in suburban and rural communities. Intensive Containerized Hydroponic systems are very compact systems, often employing used shipping containers to provide a means of producing fruits and vegetables with a minimal space requirement and may be combined with aqua-ponics.
This workshop presents methods for aquaponics and intensive hydroponic culturists to improve their food safety plans, monitoring and recordkeeping systems by presenting realistic strategies that producers can use to ensure product safety. This will include presenta-tion of a model food protection plan and good agricultural/best aquaculture plans for these products. Strategies for monitoring and recordkeeping for producer, including suggested forms, as well as suggestions for validation and verification of model systems will also be presented and explained. Finally, applicable federal and state regulations will be presented and discussed. A comprehensive handbook that will be provided to each attendee.
Practical presentations by existing producers, suppliers and researchers will be made and a panel discussion will enable participants to get answers to their questions.
Receive a DISCOUNT for both combined course registrations.
Date: May 14-16, 2018
Cost: $348.00
