FAFP - AEC 2024. We had a blast!
The Florida Association for Food Protection (FAFP) is dedicated to the advancement of food safety and protection. It serves as a hub for professionals from industry, government, and academia to collaborate on critical issues related to food safety. The FAFP's mission is to provide education, promote research and development, and facilitate networking opportunities for its members. One of the key events organized by FAFP is the Annual Education Conference (AEC), which brings together food safety professionals to discuss the latest trends, share knowledge, and work towards enhancing food protection practices. The AEC also included community outreach initiatives, such as volunteering at local organic farms, to educate and engage with the broader community on sustainable and safe food production practices. Through those efforts, the FAFP aims to cultivate a community of engaged professionals who are committed to ensuring the safety of food for all.
The conference included a community volunteer event on May 14th at Wunderfarms, an organic community garden. The volunteering activities included harvesting, weeding, turning compost, sifting soil, moving material, and distributing mulch/manure/compost.
There was a silent auction to support student scholarships and student travel scholarships. Donations for the silent auction included gift baskets, handmade crafts, sports items, and more.
The conference also offered opportunities for corporate sponsorship and exhibitors to meet and come together for a better tomorrow in Food Protection.
There were also several guest speakers' appearances including our President, Debby Newslow.
Here are a few pictures from our experience and an audio of Debby's speech:
