Fair Food: Field To Table is a video project of the California Institute for Rural Studies, a nonprofit research organization whose mission is to "increase social justice in rural California for all residents, building sustainable communities based on a healthy agriculture." Their research takes a keen look at the often-obscured lives of California farm workers in the form of research reports, videos, and action plans. They form strong relationships with grassroots organizations and farm worker communities in order to "turn research into action."
Needless to say how important and progressive this work is.
