GAPs CONFERENCE HELD IN ORLANDO

The Global Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) Research and Extension Conference was held January 11 and 12 at the Renaissance Hotel in Orlando. FFVA’s Dan Botts and Mike Aerts of the Environmental & Pest Management Division attended. The conference brought together scientists from diverse disciplines to present current and relevant research data related to GAPs. Those attending then had the opportunity to discuss how the reserach presented would impact current GAPs recommendations, and to identify topics that require additional research.
