WHAT IS GAP ?
DEFINITION
GAPs are guidelines to ensure that fresh produce is handled in ways to prevent microbial contamination during growing, harvesting, sorting, packaging and storage. + Improve safety of nation’s food supply + Produce identifjed areas of concern + Provide assurance that fruit and vegetables consumed by Americans meet the highest health and safety standards.
TARGET
+ Based on the Guide to Minimize Microbial Food Safety Hazards for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables (Oct. 1998) + Secretary of HHS in partnership with the Secretary of Agriculture and in close cooperation with the agricultural community,to issue guid- ance on Good Agricultural Practices and Good Manufacturing Practices for fruits and vegetables Every year, microbial contamination results in an estimated: + 76 million cases of foodborne illness + 325,000 people hospitalized for foodborne illness + 5,200 needless deaths each year + Economic losses between 10-83 billion dollars
WHY WE NEED GAP DOCUMENT CONCLUSION
GAP is not a regulation…but GUIDANCE

It is diffjcult to get access to high pressure washes and steam cleaning in fjeld. + Growers are hesitant to do it because of the cost + It’s requires a higher standard of management and record keeping
SWOT ANALYSIS

STUDIOV
G A P s h e d
+ Walls, fmoors and ceiling shall be kept clean and in good repair. Tiey should be constructed of tile, smooth surface concrete, cement plaster, FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic),
epoxy and should be light colored. + Each cold storage room shall be equipped with an accurate and easily visible thermometer with the sensing device at least fjve feet above the fmoor. + Freeze fmoors shall be constructed of material that can be kept easily cleaned, sanitary and in good repair. + Food contact surfaces should be smooth, free from pits and crevices and relatively non-absorbent. + Personnel shall wear clean outer garments and maintain a high degree of personal cleanliness Based on GAP Guidelines, we could just grasp some basic information of the system. In order to get more detail of our shed, I also fjnd some Guidelines of Food Processors and Food Storage Warehouses which published by South Carolina Department of Agriculture as additional condition. “Food processing areas shall be suitable in size, construction and design to permit easy maintenance and a sanitary operation. Food processing areas shall be completely separated from living quarters by solid, impervious walls with no connecting openings.”
“Warehouse buildings shall be suitable in size, construction, and design to facilitate maintenance and sanitary operations”
ADDITIONAL CONDITION GUIDELINES FOOD PROCESSES
+ Facilities shall be so designed, fabricated, and fjnished as to minimize the entrance of insects, birds, rodents, dogs, cats, and other pests. + All parts of the food storage warehouse shall be lighted so as to permit the activity for which the premises are used to be carried

MATERIALS
Good Agricultural Practices require suitable materials for each of its function. Tie construction and design of a GAP shed must permit easy maintenance and a sanitary operation system for it to be certifjed. Tiis neccesitates the means of specifying proper materials for the ease of construction and desired safety measures for both food products and employees alike. Focused in this section is an exploration of appropriate building materials and surfaces that may be used in a certifjed GAP shed divided up into four catagories based on mandatory GAP
used to help determine the right materials for the shed project.

02 [SUPPORTIVE STRUCTURING] MATERIALS
wood is good
BUT did you know?...
As wood is oftentimes the primary structural component of a building, but when it comes to a GAP certifjed shed, wood components cannot be exposed in any way inside the shed where there may be food processing or food storage.
why?
Porous materials retain moisture and can lead to bacterial growth. GAP certifjcation requires smooth, non-porous materials that are durable and can be easily cleaned and drained.
this means...
Materials supporting counters, shelving, furniture, and anything that houses storage should not be made out of wood components.

SOURCES OF ENERGY
CONNECTING TO EXISTING GRID
Cost: Turbines are very expensive due to height necessity. $50,000- $80,000 for a turbine big enough to power a home. Advantages: Alternative use of energy; lower utility bills. Disadvantages: Expensive up front cost; in S.C., turbines are not well suited for coast; need a distinct location; city ordinances may prohibit construction.
WIND POWER
Cost: Approximately $500 for a portable generator plus gasoline / diesel costs throughout its lifetime. Advantages: Portable; fairly economical up front cost. Disadvantages: Inconvenient having to constantly buy gasoline; noise pollution; air quality; ineffjcient. Tiere are Whisper Generators available that make virtually no noise, but they cost $1000 on up.

Cost: If already connected to grid, no setup required. Future cost is

Disadvantages: If not connected to grid, may be very diffjcult to get; not viable for many small farmers; not a sustainable option. Cost: Weekly shipments of blocks of ice. Advantages: No up front cost; sustainable. Disadvantages: Will not work in summer, especially in S.C.

the panels based on the seasons, but if that is not possible, the tilt should equal the latitude, so for Charleston, it is 33 degrees.
Advantages Best option if you are connected to the grid; cheaper; can possibly get credits from utility company for excess solar energy; tax incentives (up to 30%) from government if not a non-profjt; higher effjciency. Impossible if you are a small farm not connected to the grid. Great for small farmers; entirely self-dependent; potentially farm land grants for those ofg the grid. More costly because more parts to buy (battery and charge controller); small inverters and batteries are fairly ineffjcient.

Tie Studio V GAP Shed project aims to create a design for a small farm shed, which can be easily replicated by any
local building materials. Step-by-step, build-it-yourself instructions, complete with illustrations, will guide farmers through their building process. We hope to create plans for several shed size

protection from the elements. Barns and other agricultural outbuildings are an important part
many periods, both historic and contemporary. New buildings are added to adapt to modern farming practices. Barns may be strictly utilitarian structures, or they may show the infmuence of various styles and vernacular traditions. Decorative elements associated with architectural styles are sometimes applied to barns in the form
Bank Barn with Forebay Tie bank barn is built into the side of a hill, thus permitting both levels to be entered from the ground. Tie upper level cantilevers over ground fmoor structure.

PREFABRICATED SHED KITS
http://www.studio-shed.com/ Finished panels are fabricated in a factory, then crated and shipped to each building site where they are assembled. Flat- packed kits include all necessary hardware and fasteners, siding, and trim. Every model is designed to be assembled by a handy homeowner with a minimum of tools. Tie sheds are simply framed with 2 x 4 wall construction and sheathed with the high effjciency ZipWall system, then sided with wood or metal. Roofs are framed with either 2x6, 2x8, 2x10’s.
Pros: Factory Precision, Convenience Cons: Cost, Limited Design Flexibility, No room for expansion, Custom-Designed Connection Hardware http://www.summerwood.com/
KITS
Pre-assembled kits can be assembled by two minimally skilled people in one or two days. Kits include detailed instructions, assembly video, pre-assembled fmoors, walls, and trusses, doors and windows, all required fasteners and hardware.
