You can find the final factsheet here.
The PSA also needs your help with the following surveys to develop education materials that are relevant and timely:
- PSA/NECAFS Lookback Survey (available in English and Spanish) to help understand the costs and barriers of beginning or expanding food safety practices on farms and packinghouses. The results from this international survey will help to inform the development of educational materials. The survey is set to close June 1st, depending on the number of responses received!
- A very short Spanish-language survey to ask stakeholders to rank Spanish-language podcast topics. Please circulate to your Spanish-speaking stakeholders (including growers and educators).
