What do strawberry carts have to do with food safety, high quality product and worker retention?

A lot, as it turns out.

On this episode of the “Tip of the Iceberg” podcast, let’s welcome LeAnne Rhodes Ruzzamenti, EFI’s director of marketing communications, as she chats with Marylu Ramirez, human resources manager of GoodFarms — also known as Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce. The company grows berries and tomatoes.

This episode marks the third of a series with Equitable Food Initiative, often called EFI, which works with retailers and growers to create a transparent supply chain, a safer food system and healthier work environments.

These episodes will focus on the improvements or advancements companies and their people are making that elevate workers and create better working conditions.
