EFI is driving change across agricultural systems in substantial ways, according to a new evaluation report by BSD Consulting.
The report outlines five areas where EFI is having impact:
- developing skills and capacity
- integrating management systems
- creating organizational culture shifts
- using a multi-stakeholder approach to systemic change
- improving working conditions
As a new organization, we are committed to working with our certified growers to develop processes to track our impacts. Although the report represents a small sample size, the results are favorable and reinforce our belief that skill building and system change is an effective way to improve labor conditions, food safety and pesticide management.
