Despite their importance, farmworkers are among the most disadvantaged worker groups, facing racial and gender discrimination, unfair market conditions, predatory trade agreements, climate change, and more. Fair Trade Certification protects the fundamental rights of farmworkers by supporting fair wages, safe working conditions, and access to education.? ?
