Migrant Justice, Ben & Jerry’s reach groundbreaking agreement
The historic agreement will implement the worker-driven Milk with Dignity program in Ben & Jerry’s Northeast dairy supply chain.
Ben & Jerry’s, Burlington, Vt., and Migrant Justice said they reached a historic agreement to implement Migrant Justice’s worker-driven Milk with Dignity (MD) program in Ben & Jerry’s Northeast dairy supply chain.
Over the past two years, the parties have worked tirelessly to accomplish their shared goal to bring together farmworkers, farmers and dairy buyers to ensure just and dignified working conditions in Ben & Jerry’s northeast dairy supply chain. Work will begin this fall on a multi-year plan, with the goal of eventually sourcing 100% of Ben & Jerry’s milk through the MD program and a holistic dairy program that addresses all key aspects of dairy farming, Ben & Jerry’s said.
