Organic is for people plants and planet’

🥬👩🏽‍🌾 ORGANIC IS FOR FARMWORKERS 👩🏽‍🌾🥬

The vast majority of food in the United States is produced by more than 2 million highly-skilled farmworkers. Farmworkers often follow the harvest, traveling from region to region, working long hours and engage in physically demanding and repetitive tasks. They also face high exposure to chemical pesticides and environmental conditions like heat and wildfire smoke.

Organic agriculture has a critical role to play in protecting farmworkers and their families, and here's why:

🥕 Farmworkers on organic farms are not exposed to chemical pesticides and herbicides

🌱 Organic farms are more likely to offer year-round or longer-term employment, which allows farmworkers and their families to remain in one place, with stable access to education, work, and community

🥬 Farmworkers on organic farms are often paid higher wages, which improves livelihoods and stimulates the local economy

🍅 Organic operations provide healthier conditions for farmworkers and their families, including better safety protections, and the assurance of clean air, water, and soil
