The primary processing of agricultural products is easy to understand, and the secret skills of happiness made by staff are first brushed with 5, 000 books in stock and 5 books left

After the food safety storm, many people do not trust large food manufacturers, and some people turn to small-scale farmers to buy, but so far there are still few food safety guidelines published for small farmers. The Science and Technology Policy Research and Information Center of the National Experimental Research Institute has convened a domestic food safety team to compile "the first lesson of staff hand-made Happiness Secret ─ small producers", which was officially listed on the 29th. Let small farmers easily grasp the correct process of agricultural products processing, the first brush 5,000 copies were snapped up, stock only 5.

The National Research Institute has undertaken the Ministry of Science and Technology's "Plan to promote the Construction of Taiwan's Food Safety net," and has also compiled "the first lesson for small producers of ─, a secret skill for happiness by staff." in a pictorial way, it explains the matters that should be paid attention to in the primary processing of agricultural products, from the establishment of standard processes, food labeling, and even how to buy dishwashing essence and take out product liability insurance, so that small farmers can easily master the correct process of agricultural products processing.

Li Huifang, the host of the project to promote the construction of a food safety net in Taiwan, says that the Food and Drug Administration has a Food Safety and Hygiene Management Law and GHP (good Food Hygiene practices) for food safety, but these are literal books for small farmers, which are difficult to follow, but through this simple behavior guide manual, it is as easy as reading instructions for small farmers to follow the laws and regulations. Li Huifang, for example, shows in the book through pictures and texts: if there is a wound on the hand, you can't touch the modulated object, and the mask should completely cover the mouth and nose and prevent droplets, which is very easy to understand.

Wang Shixian, director of the Science and Technology Department of the Council of Agriculture, also recommended the book. He said that compared with the difficult laws and regulations, this book is easy to understand and hopes to serve as a guide for farmers' primary processing. The book's guidance on low-risk processing methods such as drying, crushing, grinding and baking can be used as one of the teaching materials for the agricultural product proofing center of the Council of Agriculture to guide farmers to use the correct process.

As for whether there are plans to publish the next book? Li Huifang said frankly that although there is a huge demand in society, the relevant funds still need to be raised, and she hopes to use the research program to guide cross-disciplinary food safety experts to join the ranks to help farmers solve the difficulties encountered in processing.

The draft amendment to the Agricultural products production and Certification Management Law passed by the Legislative Yuan a few days ago sets the competent authority of the primary processing plant of agricultural products as the Council of Agriculture, but the outside world questions the ability of the Council of Agriculture to establish food safety-related norms for the primary processing plant of agricultural products. in order to allay doubts from all walks of life, the Council of Agriculture trains seed teachers and resides in the proofing centers of various improvement plants, once farmers encounter problems such as laws and regulations in the processing process. Seed teachers can provide relevant advice and services.

The Science and Technology Policy Research and Information Center of the National Academy of Experimental Research convened a domestic food safety team to compile "the first lesson for small producers of staff hand-made Happiness Secret ─", which was officially put on the market on the 29th.
