The Cost of Feeding America: Farm Worker Health & Wellbeing

Описание: Farm workers are essential to our food system — yet their own health and well-being are too often placed at risk. From extreme heat and pesticide exposure to injury, isolation, and long-term illness, the cost of feeding America is carried in human bodies and lives.

In this recorded webinar, leaders from National Farm Worker Ministry (NFWM) and our farm worker partners explore the full scope of health challenges facing farm worker communities, and the systems that too often fail to protect those who harvest our food.

This conversation highlights:
✓ How working conditions impact farm worker physical and mental health
✓ The health consequences of heat stress, chemical exposure, and demanding labor
✓ Gaps in labor laws and enforcement that leave farm workers uniquely vulnerable
✓ Why worker-led solutions are essential to protecting farm worker health
✓ Ways people of faith and conscience can respond in solidarity

Panelists include farm worker leaders and advocates from Alianza Nacional de Campesinas and Líderes Campesinas, alongside members of the NFWM Board, sharing lived experience and on-the-ground insight.

Whether you joined us live or are watching the replay, we invite you to listen deeply, reflect, and consider how farm worker health is inseparable from justice, dignity, and care for those who feed us. 🌾
