COACHELLA VALLEY: Near desert paradise, farmworkers live in poverty

Is there any sort of reliable certification for responsible, humane farming practices that covers a wide variety of products (not necessarily organic)? I really don’t want my food produced by slave labor, or have farmworkers dying in the fields. I don’t want animals treated cruelly, and I don’t want the environment destroyed. I’m willing to pay more for that. The problem is I have no way of know where any extra money goes. Workers? Better farming practices? Some middleman somewhere?
