Care about Your Food? Then Care about Your Farmworkers Too

These days, most people involved in buying and advocating for local and organic food say they want to support their farmers.
Looking beyond the citySome in the sustainable food movement work with the goal of directly addressing human rights issues in the food system.
Good news and next stepsSome in the food justice community are starting to work more broadly on issues of farm and food system labor, coordinating with farm, food processing, and restaurant worker unions.
Both sustainable food proponents and food justice organizers have shown interest in addressing labor-related injustice.
But to truly make that change, those that care about our food system must broaden their views of food sustainability to include the rights and health of all producers and consumers of food.
