In the past several years, food consumers around the world have witnessed a succession of foodborne disease outbreaks. As a result of these events, the safety of the global food system is now called into question and government regulators and private food retailers have responded by focusing on, in part, on-farm practices. Many local and international food retailers have begun requiring that produce growers obtain third-party certification ensuring that their produce is grown using Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) to minimize food contamination risks. And in the United States, Congress recently passed into law the Food Safety Enhancement Act to give the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) greater regulatory powers to enforce adherence to onfarm food safety practices. The purpose of this research is to examine grower perceptions regarding on-farm food safety. Such an examination can help to identify appropriate means of communication through which extension educators and other stakeholders in the food system can help growers learn about and meet food safety. Because fruit and vegetable value chains span across national borders, case study research was conducted in the states of Pennsylvania in the United States and Sao Paulo in Brazil. In total, thirty interviews -- 14 in Pennsylvania and 16 in Brazil. Analysis of grower comments revealed discernible themes. Growers in Pennsylvania evaluate food safety risks on their farm by considering pathogenic risks, perceive the consequences of food contamination to be devastating financially and socially, and take pride in their practiced or local knowledge. Pennsylvania growers also indicate that the multiplying effects of media reporting on foodborne illness outbreaks and the increasing distance between producers and consumers provide context for changes in the regulation of on-farm food safety. As well, they believe that the responsibility for food safety should be shared by growers, processors, retailers, and consumers. Because farming is their livelihood, Pennsylvania growers staunchly expressed their commitment to protecting their livelihood by ensuring the safety of their produce. However, Pennsylvania growers do not think that consumers take enough responsibility in practicing safe food handling. Growers in Sao Paulo evaluate food safety risks on their farm by monitoring the application of agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides and fungicides, perceive the consequences of food contamination to be much less than growers in Pennsylvania, and place tremendous amounts of trust in chemical sales representatives and agronomists at farmer supply cooperatives. Sao Paulo growers also indicate that the harsh, tropical climate and market prices provide context for concerns about food safety in Brazil. They believe that growers should take the most responsibility for ensuring food safety through the safe application of agricultural chemicals that protects both the environment and human health. From the results of this study, a new model for understanding on-farm food safety was developed. Such a model helps us to understand grower perceptions about various variables that are associated with the topic of on-farm food safety and this understanding provides agricultural extension educators and other professionals with a starting point for developing appropriate onfarm food safety educational materials.
