The Adoption Of Food Safety Practices And The Implications Of Regulation For Small Scale Farms, Elizabeth Canales, Juan Silva, Joy Anderson
The Journal of Extension

Market-driven and regulatory food safety enforcement continues to tighten, and this can further hinder market access for small scale producers.
