With the Fair Food Program, the CIW has created 6 components that each signed partner has to implement: a "penny-per-pound" pay-increase, compliance with the Code of Conduct, worker-to-worker education, a complaint resolution mechanism, health and safety committees, and ongoing auditing of the farms. With the compliance with the Code of Conduct, the Fair Food Program puts an emphasis on anti-sexual harassment policies. In the PBS Frontline documentary Rape in the Fields, they uplift the Fair Food Program as a great economic incentive to address and promote anti-sexual harassment policies.

The CIW’s Anti-Slavery Program has investigated multiple cases of modern-day farm slavery operations that occur across the Southeastern US. They aim to fight this crime by uncovering and assisting in the federal prosecution of slavery operations that prey on hundreds of farmworkers. The CIW has assisted in many Florida farm labor slavery prosecutions, such as US vs. Flores (1997) and US vs. Global Horizons (2010). More information about modern-day slavery cases can be found here. 

The 4 for Fair Food campaign strives to bring students and community members together to convince Wendy's to join the award-winning Fair Food program (FFP). The CIW has successfully brought in large companies, such as Walmart, McDonald's, and many others into the FFP. This program forges alliances with farmworkers to support humane labor conditions and increase their wages by adding an additional penny per pound of produce. However, Wendy's has decided to ignore the FFP and stop buying tomatoes from Florida. Wendy's is the last of the 5 major fast food corporations to join the FFP and the CIW is now embarking on a tour to visit the country's top universities to reach out to college students. This video explains more about their mission of boycotting Wendy's. 

In 2008 multiple lawsuits were filed against blueberry companies as well as labor recruiters for the unfair treatment of migrant workers. In 2012 a chapter from CIW went up to main and worked with Food for Maine’s Future in an effort to organize the migrant blueberry workers. CIW met with with Bob St. Peter and some other Blue Hill area family farmers and workers The outcome of the meeting was it “closed with pledges all around to continue to work together in the months ahead.” The bill that would have allowed farm workers to organize was not passed however there are still attempts to plan new bills.
