From Seed to plate: Improving produce safety and supporting organic leafy green production using natural biocontrol strategies

Objective

The project aims to develop natural, eco-friendly, biocontrol approaches for improving organic leafy green production, focusing on (1) microbial safety and sustaining crop yields, (2) product quality, and (3) consumer perception and cost-benefit analysis. Project results will be disseminated to scientific groups, the community, organic growers, and stakeholders through conferences, workshops, social media, and webinars. Moreover, instructional material will be developed to train the next generation of the workforce in organic production.
