The welfare of farmworkers is something that gets ignored far too often, and @onceuponafarm is doing something about it. It has entered into a first-of-its-kind partnership with @EquitableFood , a certification non-profit that works to improve the lives of farmworkers and drive business performance by integrating worker voices and engagement throughout the supply chain. “We believe that to drive the systemic improvements in childhood nutrition we are committed to, we must also drive systemic improvements to how our food is grown, picked and produced,” said John Foraker, co-founder and CEO of Once Upon a Farm. I have the full story in the latest Organic Insider. organicinsider.com/newslette… #organic #organicfood #cpg #farmworkers
