A practical guide to help farmer organizations identify, understand, and mitigate human rights risks within their communities and supply networks.

Designed for agricultural cooperatives and farmer groups, this guidance outlines good practices for preparing and conducting human and labor rights risk assessments. It walks users through selecting tools, gathering data, training field staff, and prioritizing communities where vulnerable groups—such as migrants, women, and children—face greater risks. The document emphasizes culturally sensitive and gender-aware interviewing, confidentiality, and individual-based approaches to build trust. It serves as a foundation for cooperatives seeking to embed human rights due diligence in their everyday operations and community engagement.
