Together we can
You simply can not achieve living wages and incomes by yourself. That is why the Living Wage Lab, an initiative by Fairfood and Hivos, brings together representatives of the government, businesses, unions, NGOs and retailers.

Change choice
A breeding ground
Fairfood started the Lab, together with Hivos, in order to help companies in the agri-food sector to find sustainable solutions for the payment of a living wage in their food supply chains. We acknowledge that companies are often not able to solve the problem of low wages alone. That is why the Living Wage Lab brings together representatives from government, trade unions, producers, retailers, NGOs, certification agencies and researchers in order to come up with solutions.
Experimenting
The Living Wage Lab is a platform for co-creation and experimentation: just like in a laboratory, we test ideas and try out combinations in order to jointly arrive at new ideas and prototypes aimed at tackling the living wage problem.
