NDA Good Agriculture Certification Program Overview

Good Handling Practices and Good Agricultural Practices (GHP/GAP)

Sourcing local produce continues to be important to the public. Shcools, restaurants and retailers are trying to buy locally produced fruits and vegetables to serve students and customers. Producers doing business with them often need proof of a food safety program or some type of food safety certification to meet the terms of their contracts.

    The Nevada Department of Agriculture (NDA) can provide training and technical assistance to help farmers to improve or implement Food Safety, and GHP/GAP practices on their farms.

       

      We can provide the following services:

       

      • Program Review
      • Technical Assistance
      • On Farm Readiness Review
      • Grower Training
      • Employee Training

       

         

        If you have questions regarding improving/implementing Food Safety and GAP/GHP procedures on your farm, please contact the NDA Food Safety team at NVProducers@agri.nv.gov
