Arizona, California LGMA’s New Environmental Risk Assessment Tool Helps Leafy Greens Farmers
The Arizona and California Leafy Greens Marketing Association (LGMA) recently made available a new food safety tool to help growers and shippers assess risk in the crop production environment. The tool can be accessed through the Arizona LGMA and California LGMA websites.
The risk assessment tool considers various risks, both on the ranch that the farmer controls and on land adjacent to the crop production area. Arizona and California LGMA collaborated on the risk assessment tool with the goal of providing its food safety professionals with the resources required to be effective and efficient in monitoring field conditions and adjacent land hazards.
