Fair Food Program

The Fair Food Program is “brilliant … You’ve got a success model, and you ought to put the pedal to the metal…”

President Bill Clinton

“This is the best workplace-monitoring program” in the US.

The New York Times

“One of the great human rights success stories of our day.”

Washington Post Op/Ed

“My hope is that this will become a model for social responsibility within the agricultural industry.”

President Jimmy Carter





THE FAIR FOOD PROGRAM

The Coalition of Immokalee Workers’ (CIW) Fair Food Program is a unique partnership among farmers, farmworkers, and retail food companies that ensures humane wages and working conditions for the workers who pick fruits and vegetables on participating farms. It harnesses the power of consumer demand to give farmworkers a voice in the decisions that affect their lives, and to eliminate the longstanding abuses that have plagued agriculture for generations.
The Program has been called “the best workplace-monitoring program” in the US in the New York Times, and “one of the great human rights success stories of our day” in the Washington Post, and has won widespread recognition for its unique effectiveness from a broad spectrum of human rights observers, from the United Nations to the White House.
