Taking a Risk on Food Abstract: This 79 page report provides information on the major components of a multi-state project planned to facilitate food safety programming: 1.) develop the Extension Food Safety Education Database and 2.) conduct two national workshops. The database was designed to include information on educational curriculum and resource materials that can be used in formal and nonformal settings by extension educators, volunteers, teachers, and other educators. Materials in the database address a wide range of food safety education topics. The database includes short video clips for previewing, and is accessible on the World Wide Web. The national workshops focused on building food safety program teams within the extension network. Workshop content included the national food safety strategic plan, utilization of technology to locate support materials for food safety education, and team strategies in program planning. The Appendices provide comprehensive information on the contents of the database as well as access and tips for using it, a partial list of USDA and Cooperative Extension WWW sites, agendas for the national workshops, summaries of Food Safety Education Ideas that Work, workshop Resource Notebook Table of Contents, program planning worksheets, program plans, and evaluation instruments and results.
