New Resource: Advantage Good Agricultural Practices - enhancing food safety on the farm

Ontario's conventional and organic producers who want to adopt food safety practices on their farms can now refer to a new resource developed by the OMAFRA Food Safety Programs Branch. The Advantage Good Agricultural Practices manual guides farmers through:

• Recognizing and assessing potential food safety risks on the farm
• Developing food safety practices to manage and reduce risks
• Record keeping tips

The Advantage Good Agricultural Practices manual benefits both single and multiple commodity farmers that want to follow one program and keep one set of records for their whole operation. The manual contains record templates, advice and examples for developing food safety practices and links to web-based resources.
