Migrant Farm Labor

Migrant farm labor involves seasonal workers who travel to different regions to work on farms, primarily harvesting crops like fruits and vegetables. These workers often come from other areas or countries, seeking employment to support themselves and their families. Their work is physically demanding, pays low wages, and can involve lengthy periods away from home. Despite their essential role in food production, migrant farm workers frequently face challenges such as limited legal protections, inadequate access to healthcare, and difficult working conditions. Recognizing their contributions is important for understanding the agricultural economy and addressing their needs.
