cooperative agreements
Recognizing the great diversity among members of the food industry, the FDA is building on that investment by funding cooperative agreements that will develop training options for local food production systems and tribal operations. The Indigenous Food and Agriculture Initiative is proud to serve as one of these partners through the Native American Native American Tribes Outreach, Education, and Training to Enhance Food Safety and FSMA Compliance. The Local Food Safety Collaborative serves as the second cooperative agreement partner:
