Welcome to our portal for the Local Food Safety Collaborative!
The LFSC is a partnership between the National Farmers Union and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to provide specialized training, education, and outreach on the fundamentals of food safety to farmers and food processors who serve local markets.
LFSC training, education, and outreach activities are designed to help local food farmers and processors comply with the requirements of the federal Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
As an LFSC partner organization, IFU coordinates with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach to provide food safety training, education, and outreach for Iowa’s local food farmers and processors.
