Industrial food animal production, antimicrobial resistance, and human health. (2008, background): “Runoff from land amended with CAFO waste has been implicated as a source of resistant pathogens recovered from food crops grown in soils irrigated with contaminated water (29, 68, 78).”
Ecology of E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enterica in the Primary Vegetable Production Chain (2008, background): “The number of reported produce-related outbreaks of food-borne diseases in the United States increased from two per year in the 1970s to seven per year in 1980s and to 16 per year in 1990s, while the total number of foodborne outbreaks with a known food item remained essentially constant (Sivapalasi”

Factors influencing the microbial safety of fresh produce: a review. (2012, methodology): “As a result of better detection and epidemiological methods in the US, viruses have been more frequently implicated in causing illness outbreaks from produce: from 20% during 1973e1997 (Sivapalasingam et al., 2004) to 51% during 1998e2007 (CSPI, 2009).”
