Abstract

The food safety system is under serious stress, largely because of rapid change in the food system. An effective food safety system provides an array of important social and economic benefits, including maintenance of public confidence in the safety of the food supply, and support for the export food and agricultural products. These benefits flow from success in minimizing food safety risk. This is first and foremost the responsibility of food producers, processors, and also others throughout the food chain, including consumers; the government can play important roles in the effort to minimize food safety risk as well. In this study I will highlight the key elements of the food safety development in the greenhouse growing environment with an example of an Ohio vegetable producer.
