Virginia Tech Cooperative Extension created an Assessing On-Farm Produce Safety Risks fact-sheet series; each bullet below links to the corresponding publication. This series documents the multi-stage process of preparing for GAP certification and is an example of the type of resources available to growers. Additional produce safety resources and training modules can be found at the Northeast Center to Advance Food Safety Clearinghouse.
