Great new resource from the DFTA. Check it out! “The DFTA evaluations make my job a little easier, and help our co-op educate community members seeking truth and justice in our food system”- Meg Kennedy, Sustainable Product Advocate at Central Co-op (Seattle, WA). http://fairfacts.www.thedfta.org
New consumer resource from the DFTA. Check it out! “Not only should claims of fairness include the wages and living conditions of farmworkers but farmworkers themselves should be at the table when evaluating the legitimacy of those claims. The DFTA’s evaluations do just that.” – Nelson Carrasquillo (CATA, El Comite de Apoyo a Los Trabajadores Agricolas).http://fairfacts.www.thedfta.org
