All Growers participating in Farm to School Yolo are required to follow Good Agricultural Practices (GAP).
GAP is defined as guidelines that ensure that field operations account for potential food safety issues. A typical GAP program addresses the food safety topics of site selection, adjacent land use, fertilizer usage, water sourcing and usage, pest control and pesticide monitoring, harvesting practices and food defense. Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) are developed and incorporated into the GAP program, providing guidance with respect to potential points for contamination and preventative or corrective measures to mitigate their effects.
In order to assist growers in becoming GAP compliant Primus Labs offers the following documents free of charge.
