His presentation Addressed Poverty and the Designed Systemic Neglect of Agricultural Workers featuring Baldemar Velasquez, Founder and President of the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC).

The marginalization of agricultural workers and its historical persistence has long been an elusive problem to ameliorate let alone to solve. FLOC shares its vision why major efforts have failed and of how this marginalization is man-designed and driven by global supply-chains controlled by major manufacturers and retailers. Responding to major catastrophes, pandemics remain difficult unless workers have a semblance of self-determination and be able to address poverty and systemic neglect. FLOC takes a look what it might take to make this happen.
