Harvesting the Future – Access to Remedy is the second phase of an FLA-led project designed to create large-scale change on child protection and responsible recruitment through a “multi-commodity, multi-company, and multi-geography” approach.
Phase two elevates topics that were identified as priority areas during the risk analysis in phase one.
Child protection and child labor remediation
Elimination of hazardous work for workers under age 18
Access to basic services for seasonal migrant families in agriculture
Responsible recruitment
Grievance mechanisms
Application of living wage standards
The new project, scheduled to last 30 months, focuses on remediation and will equip project partners through a series of six modules. Module content varies to match the maturity levels of suppliers’ internal human rights due diligence and remediation programs, resources, and the commitment levels of the supply chain partners and companies.
Core modules
Module 1: Child Protection and Remediation
Module 2: Farm Level Monitoring
Module 3: Access to Basic Needs and OHS
Module 4: Responsible Recruitment
Advanced modules
Module 5: Grievance Mechanisms
Module 6: Living Wage
FLA is responsible to implement the core modules among supplier project partners. Suppliers with mature programs will self-implement core modules with FLA delivering the advanced modules.
There are four agriculture commodities that are part of the project. FLA established working groups to ensure operational level efficiency and the development of geographic and commodity-specific solutions.
New project partners and commodities are accepted on a rolling basis.
