Freshcare started as an on-farm food safety program developed by fresh produce industry experts, in response to the need for a practical, cost-effective, industry-focussed food safety program. Based on GAP (Good Agricultural Practice) principles, Freshcare was designed to allow the participation of all grower businesses, regardless of crops, size of operation or location in Australia.
