Migrant Farmworkers

Migrant farmworkers are individuals who travel seasonally or temporarily to different regions to work in agriculture, primarily harvesting crops. They often come from different states or countries seeking better job opportunities. These workers play a crucial role in the food supply chain, performing physically demanding tasks under varying conditions. Many face challenges such as low wages, inadequate housing, and limited access to healthcare. Despite their essential contributions to the economy and food production, migrant farmworkers often experience social and economic vulnerabilities, highlighting the need for greater awareness and support for their rights and well-being.
