As farmworkers, growers and retail clerks have put their lives on the line to maintain access to safe and healthy produce, EFI honors all the heroic people whose vital services sustain the rest of us. During the pandemic, consumers became acutely aware of the essential role that so many play to fill our supermarket shelves, and we hope that translates to increased focus on improved working conditions and support for companies who invest in their workers, like those certified by EFI.

EFI staff worked with workers at all levels to develop education resources, best thinking and recommendations for handling coronavirus. We’ve also partnered with fresh produce growers to create a white paper that highlights the lessons learned during the pandemic that can be applied to future challenges in the industry, from labor shortages to climate changes.
