Description | This project reaches out to audiences in the fresh produce supply chain who are pivotal in influencing on-farm food safety and conservation practices. Promoting the adoption of co-management strategies protects public health from acute effects of food safety outbreaks, and chronic effects of compromised ecosystem services. Adoption promotes economic sustainability for producers and buyers. |
