First-Ever Controlled Environment Agriculture Food Safety Coalition Forms; Call for Members Now Open
Leading Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) growers have begun joining together to establish the first food safety group geared specifically toward CEA produce brands. The goal of this group is to establish food safety standards to protect consumer health. The group will officially kick off with an inaugural meeting during the United Fresh co-located 2018 Expos taking place June 25-27 in Chicago, where they will begin to develop the coalition’s structure and food safety standards.
CEA growers including Brightfarms, AeroFarms and Little Leaf Farms have joined the coalition as founding members, with numerous others expected to join in the coming months.
