Podcast: Keeping Farmworkers Safe
This podcast on “Keeping Farmworkers Safe” addresses an important food chain question in the age of the coronavirus.
“California grows more than a third of the country’s vegetables and two thirds of its fruit and nuts. That means farmhands are essential workers. . . . But many farmworkers lack the resources that other essential workers in our economy have, like access to the internet and healthcare.”
The guest on the podcast is Carissa Purnell, director of the Alisal Family Resource Center in Salinas.
