Farms in Hawaii are currently facing big changes in food safety rules and regulations, called the Food Safety & Modernization Act (FSMA). Hawaii Farmers Union Foundation is reaching out to all of our members to help in understanding that new rules apply to your farm, or will apply as you upscale your production in the future. Bryna Storch, a farmer from Kauai and secretary of the HFUU Kauai chapter, will present an introduction to the new rules, essential farm safety practices for all farms and opportunities for the trainings and certifications that are now required for farmers.
