agricultural labor policy

Agricultural labor policy involves government rules and programs that oversee the employment of workers in farming. It aims to ensure fair wages, safe working conditions, and rights for farm laborers, many of whom are often migrant or seasonal workers. Policies address issues like wage standards, visa programs, and labor rights to promote ethical employment practices and support the agricultural economy. Effective policies balance the needs of farmers to access reliable, affordable labor with protections for workers’ well-being and dignity.
