SAFE provides a transparent and credible source of independent, third-party certification of labor practices for farm employers. Recognizing the growing need for social accountability by farm employers, SAFE was formed in 2005 by the Redlands Christian Migrant Association and the Florida Fruit & Vegetable Association. In a climate where major food product companies, restaurants, markets and others are taking a closer look at labor practices, SAFE-certified farm employers are prepared to meet socially accountable employment standards.
