Are you a leafy vegetable grower, agronomist or food safety professional?

Join this interactive Grower Food Safety Workshop to learn practical ways to assess and manage food safety risks from irrigation water and organic soil amendments.

The workshop will cover:

• findings from the Safe Leafy Veg Program
• practical ways to monitor and test water quality
• food safety risks linked to irrigation water and organic soil amendments
• ways to manage food safety risks before harvest.

Speakers and updates:

• Dr SP Singh, Senior Research Scientist at NSW DPIRD, will discuss managing food safety risks from irrigation water and organic soil amendments in leafy vegetable production.
