Trustees Of Tufts College, doing business as Tufts University School Of Medicine, received a $150,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Food Safety Outreach Program (CFDA 10.328). The grant will fund food safety training, education, and technical assistance for up to 50 small-scale, beginning, immigrant, and organic specialty crop farmers in Massachusetts and New England to help them meet institutional procurement standards and achieve Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) compliance. Key activities include updating food safety curricula, creating training videos, supporting third-party certifications, and providing on-farm technical assistance through mock audits and connections to implementation resources. The project aims to reach over 1,500 underserved vegetable producers across the United States to develop sustainable on-farm food safety practices. The grant period is from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2025.
