Received an email on these free seminars...thought some here may be interested
"The Risk Management Road Show Series continues with its latest installment on the Big Island: Farm Food Safety Training with Good Agricultural Practices.
Effectively managing risk is important to all agricultural producers, and having an acceptable food safety program is in the best interests of consumers, buyers, and farmers.
This workshop helps fresh produce growers of all types learn about Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) and how to write and implement an effective, farm-specific food safety plan. With the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) regulations to be in force in the near future, it’s never too soon to get started on implementing GAPs on your farm!
CTAHR’s Farm GAPs coach Luisa Castro will also cover what most 3rd-party audit companies require. The training workshop will be offered at the following locations and times:
Monday, May 20, 6:00–8:00 p.m. in the Waimea Civic Center Conference Room at 67-5189 Kamamalu Rd. in Kamuela (next to the Waimea Police Station)
Tuesday, May 21, 6:00–8:00 p.m. in the Aupuni Center Conference Room at 101 Pauahi St., Hilo
Wednesday, June 12, 5:30–7:30 p.m. in the Kona Cooperative Extension Service Conference Room at 79-7381 Mamalahoa Hwy., Kealakekua.
Please call Didi or Perci at (808) 887-6183 to RSVP or email mddiaz@hawaii.edu."
