Farmworker Health

Farmworker health refers to the physical and mental well-being of individuals who work in agriculture, often under challenging conditions. These workers may face exposure to pesticides, extreme heat, and physical strain, leading to health risks like respiratory issues, heat-related illnesses, and musculoskeletal injuries. Additionally, many farmworkers experience limited access to healthcare and face socio-economic barriers, which can affect their overall health. Ensuring the health of farmworkers is vital, not only for their welfare but also for the sustainability of the agricultural industry and the quality of food produced for society.
