IMPACT: Promoting Food Safety
At Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, our goal is to empower Iowa’s growers and producers through the latest information on food safety guidelines and laws, providing information on industry standards and training on good agricultural practices.
ISU Extension and Outreach helps Iowa’s fruit and vegetable growers by providing information and training through educational field days and food safety certification courses.
Commercial horticultural and food safety specialists are available to producers for on-farm visits and consultations.
ISU Extension and Outreach strives to keep safety concerns in mind for all aspects of the agricultural industry. Producers in Iowa work hard to make sure the highest safety standards are met throughout their operation.
Having producers they know and can trust is one thing that draws consumers to small, local farms.
ISU Extension and Outreach will continue to inform and train growers throughout the state to ensure the local, Iowa food on your family’s table is handled in a safe way and is good to eat.
