The United States Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture funds the Lead Regional Coordination Center (LRCC) and four Regional Centers (RCs). NECAFS is one of these RCs. The goals of the LRCC and RCs are aimed at improving coordinated training, education and outreach efforts related to food safety and compliance with the Food Safety Modernization Act. The Produce Safety Alliance, Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance and Sprout Safety Alliance have engaged with these centers to ensure that training needs for produce growers and processors across the country are met.
