Fair Food Program (FFP)Launched in Florida's tomato industry in 2011, FFP has been highly successful in partnering with big brands, including Taco Bell, McDonald's, Walmart, and Whole Foods to make substantial improvements to living wages, lower injury rates, reduced abuses (including sexual harassment), and elimination of extreme exploitation such as forced labour. It has since expanded to other US states, Chile, South Africa, and into multiple crops including cut flowers, sweet corn and berries.
