From Chaos to Clarity: The Key to Reliable Testing and Data Collection for Meaningful Data Analysis Webinar
Wednesday, September 4, 2024
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM PT
Join us for an insightful webinar focused on improving data quality in produce safety through standardized data collection and understanding the impact of methodological differences.
This session will feature two key presentations:
- Drs. Claire Murphy, Laura Strawn and Michelle Danyluk will present their study on the critical need for standardized data collection for water data. Their findings emphasize how the lack of data standardization, and heterogeneous methods complicate data analysis and the separation of methodological signals.
- Dr. David Legan will discuss the broader implications of methodological differences on data comparability and analysis. The presentation will explore how standardized methods can improve data reliability and support more accurate comparisons.
Speakers
Dr. Laura Strawn, Associate Professor, Virginia Tech
Dr. Michelle Danyluk , Professor, University of Florida
Dr. David Legan, Director of Science, Eurofins
In 2000, Steve Brazeel founded SunTerra Produce, which has grown from a one-person produce brokerage firm into an industry-leading, full-service platform handling sales, marketing, farming, food safety, harvesting, storage, and distribution activities for specialty crop producers on over 10,000 acres throughout the US and Mexico. Born out of SunTerra‘s participation in the USDA’s ground-breaking Farmers to Families Food Box program, Project FoodBox was launched in 2020. Since the program’s inception, the SunTerra/Project FoodBox teams have delivered over 85 Million pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables to communities in need through its network of food banks, community organizations, and health care plans.
Elevated Foods, founded by Mr. Brazeel in 2020, was recently awarded a $20M grant as part of USDA’s Partnerships for Climate Smart Commodities program. Elevated was formed to bring more profit to farmers by incentivizing the adoption of new technologies & practices and providing technical support to help make them more efficient and resilient.
