National Farmers Union

The local food safety collaborative (lfsc) is a three year project funded by a cooperative agreement between national farmers union foundation (nfuf) and the food and drug administration (fda). It is an effort to provide training, education, and outreach to local producers and processors to enhance the fundamental knowledge of food safety, and to help these local producers and processors comply with applicable food safety modernization act (fsma) regulations. Nfuf will particularly focus on organic, sustainable, value-added, and diversified farmers and processors. Lfsc will place particular emphasis on identifying and better understanding the unique needs of the sector in attaining compliance.
