The Project

We now have DVDs! Email us at info@cirsinc.org if you would like a DVD to hold a Fair Food Project screening!

“Fair Food: Field to Table” is a multimedia presentation promoting a more socially just food system in the U.S. It was created by California Institute for Rural Studies and Rick Nahmias Photography.

Through the stories and voices of farmworkers, growers, businesses and fair food advocates, viewers learn about the harsh realities of farmworker conditions and, more importantly, the promise of improved farm labor practices in American agriculture. The growing movement for “fair food” is tapping into rising consumer demand for food produced in accordance with their values.

The presentation consists of three parts:

Part 1: The Farmworkers
Part 2: The Farmers
Part 3: The Advocates


PART 1: Take a glimpse into the current reality of farmworker conditions in the U.S.
