Description:

This one day conference will provide a better understanding of the recently finalized Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Produce Safety Rule (PSR) pre-harvest water provisions. In May, 2024, the FDA published the final revision of the pre-harvest water requirements which move away from required water testing to developing a systems-based agricultural water risk assessment (AgWA). To meet these requirements, growers are required to conduct an annual AgWA in order to identify potential microbial hazards that may impact their pre-harvest water and help them make risk-based decisions about how water can be used on their farms. Speakers will address different factors that need to be considered when conducting an FSMA PSR AgWA, including: the overall water system, agricultural water practices, crop characteristics, environmental conditions, and other relevant factors. Information gained through this conference will help growers and industry professionals better understand how to assess pre-harvest water quality on farms as well as management practices that reduce risks to the crops that they grow.

This conference will provide important information for growers, farm managers, farm food safety personnel, extension agents, produce buyers, farmers market managers, consultants, auditors, and other professionals that work directly with fresh produce growers.

* Attendance at this conference will meet continuing education requirements for USDA Harmonized GAP certification – please request a certificate of attendance.
