Contract Type FiledSeptember 29th, 2014In June of 2013 I had the memorable opportunity to take part in a tour hosted by the California Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement (LGMA) in our central coast farming community. For three days, ten representatives of the group STOP Food- borne Illness visited the Santa Maria area, meeting with farmers and shippers of leafy greens. These individuals were victims of foodborne illness outbreaks; several of them had, in fact, been part of the 2006 e coli outbreak that eventu- ally gave rise to the LGMA.
