FairWild operators suport Fund
The FairWild Operator Support Fund (OSF) seeks to support FairWild’s mission by providing a range of financial and technical support measures to wild plant collection businesses (“operators”) who are already FairWild certified or who wish to implement the FairWild Standard. Typically, these businesses and the collectors who supply them are vulnerable to disruptions to their livelihoods from environmental, social and other factors, usually more so than other actors in the value chain, as well as being more severely impacted by them. Eligible businesses may receive technical and financial support to increase operator resilience by conserving biodiversity and managing their natural resources sustainably through FairWild certification.

We have a summary for operators here.
