Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement starts blog

The California Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement (LGMA) announced April 20 it will enter the “blogosphere,” with a regular blog posting feature on its website that provides insights and information about on-farm leafy greens food safety.

“I am proud to be the first to post on the LGMA’s new blog,” said LGMA Chairman Jamie Strachan, as part of the inaugural blog entry. “Our hope for this blog is that the LGMA becomes a valued source of information for farmers, industry members, buyers, government regulators and consumers of leafy greens.”

The blog can be accessed through LGMA’s website at www.lgma.ca.gov. Interested users may sign up to receive notice of new postings via email. The blog allows users to submit comments, and LGMA to respond with additional information, according to LGMA.

“Over the course of the coming months, the LGMA blog will feature a range of topics concerning leafy greens safety from members, experts and friends,” Strachan wrote. “We hope you will join us in this new dialog.”

LGMA expects to post at least twice a month. Blog posts can be accessed from the home page of the LGMA website, or go directly to the blog section at www.lgma.ca.gov/blog/.
