Day 1: Tim York

Tim York’s extensive career in the agriculture sector that spans almost fifty years has now placed him as the CEO of the Leafy Greens Marketing Association (LGMA). Under his direction the LGMA stands as a respected food safety watchdog for 99% of the leafy greens grown in California. During his tenure, the LGMA has implemented new programs including pre harvest testing of romaine products, expanded food safety standards and the introduction of a dedicated food safety compliance officer.
