A study by the Geneva Center for Business and Human Rights<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Harvesting The Future (HTF)<\/a> is an innovative initiative of FLA that addresses systemic human and labor rights challenges in global agriculture supply chains. Piloted in T\u00fcrkiye<\/a> and expanded to Egypt<\/a> and India<\/a>, HTF addresses the vulnerabilities of seasonal migrant workers and their families, focusing on child protection and responsible\u202frecruitment across multiple agricultural commodities and geographies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Geneva Center for Business and Human Rights (GCBHR) at the University of Geneva conducted this study, commissioned by FLA, to assess HTF based on interviews with partners and mid-project reports. The study considers whether the HTF model can effectively support human rights due diligence in upstream supply chains, focusing on the initiative\u2019s design and model, the role of key stakeholders, and its sustainability beyond FLA\u2019s involvement. It captures the key factors that contribute to HTF\u2019s achievements as well as the areas needing improvement, based on partner perspectives.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study concludes that HTF\u2019s approach is well-suited to address the structural human and labor rights challenges that seasonal migrant workers face when they travel to work on a single commodity or multiple commodities in the same year.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
