SANC - Risk Assessment Tool
The Horticultural Research Institute teamed up with the National Plant Board and USDA to develop a web-based risk assessment (RA) tool. The tool helps growers more easily perform the risk assessment required to participate in SANC. The tool is available, at no cost, to any nursery or greenhouse seeking to improve their processes. Whether or not you choose to pursue SANC certification, the RA process will make you a better grower.
