Coalition of Immokalee Workers: Why The Fair Food Program Works
About this episode
The episode discusses how the Coalition of Immokalee Workers transformed labor conditions in Florida's food system.
#282: Greg Asbed and Gerardo Reyes Chávez join us again for a deeper look at how the Coalition of Immokalee Workers turned one of the most exploited sectors of the food system into a model for change. They trace the path from wage theft, sexual violence, and modern-day slavery in the fields of Florida to a proven system of prevention that is now influencing labor protections across the globe and challenging the empty promises of corporate social responsibility to show what real accountability can look like. https://realorganicproject.org/coalition-imokalee-workers-why-fair-food-program-works The Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States.
