Dear John,
We're so excited to share the 2021 Fair Food Program report with you today!
Ten years in, one of many factors that continue to elevate the Fair Food Program over less rigorous “social auditing” and PR-driven corporate social responsibility schemes is the Program’s level of data collection, analysis, and transparency of results. The Fair Food Standards Council, the third-party monitor that oversees enforcement of the Program’s standards, produces the report for each season by interpreting all the quantitative and qualitative data that FFSC investigators and analysts collect from audits, hotline calls, education sessions, corrective action plans, and worker interviews. That data is enhanced by “in focus” essays that contextualize the Fair Food Program’s results in the larger landscape of agriculture and the many challenges — from Covid to climate change — of an ever-changing world.
Today over on the CIW website, we take a dive into some of the key findings of the report, which covers Seasons 8 and 9 (2018-2019, 2019-2020), plus some important highlights from 2021, but here's a quick preview:
