Hort Innovation, together with the vegetable industry, recently completed a study on the survival of human pathogens in soil and irrigation water, and on leafy vegetables. The Pathogen Persistence From Paddock to Plate project was led by the Fresh Produce Safety Centre, in conjunction with Applied Horticultural Research, Freshcare, and the University of Sydney.

Dr Jenny Ekman from Applied Horticultural Research will be presenting two webinars outlining the project's findings.

Webinar 2: Reducing food safety risks from pre-harvest water, will be held on Thursday 5 November 2020 at 1pm AEDT.
