Fair Food Standards Council

The mission of the Fair Food Standards Council (FFSC) is to monitor the development of a sustainable Florida tomato industry that advances both the human rights of farmworkers and the long-term interests of growers through implementation of the Fair Food Program. The work of the FFSC today is producing a replicable, scalable model for expansion of the Fair Food Program beyond the Florida tomato industry.

The Fair Food Program is a unique worker-led, market-driven social responsibility program which emerged from the Coalition of Immokalee Workers' (CIW) successful Campaign for Fair Food, a campaign to affirm the human rights of tomato workers and improve the conditions under which they labor. The Program's effectiveness has been recognized by the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights, the White House, PBS/Frontline, and the Roosevelt Institute, among others.
