Project to Expand and Assess the Fair Food Program (FFP) Model for Promotion of Human Rights and Labor Rights Protections in International Agricultural Supply Chains

The Fair Food Standards Council (FFSC) has identified flower producers in three countries that are interested in replicating the Fair Food Program (FFP) model on their farms in Mexico, Chile, and South Africa.

The project aims to (1) increase labor and human rights protections and compliance with labor laws on flower farms, and (2) increase understanding of factors affecting the scalability and replicability of the FFP model in pilot countries. The project will support an initial feasibility study and assessment of an international expansion of the FFP model to promote labor rights and worker-driven social responsibility —a model that has been implemented in U.S. agriculture since 2011. The project will evaluate the results of its implementation of the FFP model in the three countries through a comparative assessment to determine which factors promote or hinder the implementation.
