6th Annual Produce Research Symposium
Keynote Sessions
Food Safety Beyond the Boundaries of the Farm
Food safety research has largely been pointed toward growing operations. However, we know instinctively that food safety is the responsibility of the entire produce supply chain. Various segments of the supply chain will discuss their food safety activities, their most important food safety research needs and where they see this issue evolving as technology, transparency and regulation drive change over the next decade.

Changing Landscape of Foodborne Illness Investigations and Analyses
This session will explore how outbreaks are changing, and methods and data for the Centers for Disease Control uses in outbreak investigations and analyses attributing illnesses to foods.
