At long last, the 2019 revisions to the AJP’s Social Stewardship Standards have been finalized and released in English. We will publish a Spanish language version as soon as possible.

Thank you to all the farmworkers, food chain workers, farmers, organizations, justice-oriented food businesses, and eaters who took part in revising our FJC standards. Thank you for sending comments, and thank you to the members of the Standard Committee, Advisory Council, and Board of Directors who collaborated across sectors and came to consensus in defining high-bar, socially just, fair labor and trade practices, from field to table. See the full list of participants, past and present, or dive deep into our standards.
