The US Food and Drug Administration this week released paper-based versions of its agricultural water assessment builder tool in both English and Spanish.

The agricultural water assessment builder was released in March 2022 as an online tool to help farms understand the proposed requirements for an agricultural water assessment in the Agricultural Water Proposed Rule. Use of this tool, and its paper-based companions, is optional.

If finalized, the proposed rule would require farms to conduct systems-based agricultural water assessments to determine and guide appropriate measures to minimize potential risks associated with pre-harvest agricultural water.
