Yuma Safe Produce Council

Today is National Ag Day and we recognize the ongoing work happening behind the scenes to keep our food supply safe.

In Yuma County, agriculture is not only about growing fresh produce — it’s about maintaining strong food safety practices every step of the way. Through training, education, and collaboration, the Yuma Safe Produce Council works to support the people and programs that help ensure produce is handled responsibly from the field through harvest.

We are proud to work alongside growers, harvest crews, food safety teams, and industry leaders who are committed to continuous improvement and high standards in agriculture.

Supporting agriculture means supporting safe agriculture.

Reminder! The Yuma Safe Produce Council meeting is today (3/11) — and it’s the last meeting of the season.

Join us at the Yuma Agricultural Center for a great lineup of speakers and important industry updates. Bring your lunch and come ready to learn and connect.

See you there!

Every winter, local farmers and food safety professionals work together to grow millions of heads of lettuce, spinach, kale, and other greens—providing safe, fresh produce for families across the country.

At Yuma Safe Produce Council, we’re committed to supporting the training, research, and collaboration that keep our fields and food safe. Food safety starts right here, with our growers, workers, and community.
