Farmworkers and Food Justice in Vermont

Past event
Jan 22, 2020, 4:30 to 6 PM

In the recent joint Vermont Public Radio and Vermont Public Television rural survey project, 72% of respondents considered dairy farms to be extremely important to Vermont's sense of itself. Migrant workers are the backbone of this and other agricultural sectors, yet they face food insecurity and other vulnerabilities. Professor Teresa Mares will discuss her book, Life on the Other Border: Farm Workers and Food Justice in Vermont, pointing out the misaligned agriculture and immigration policies impacting our food system today. Wednesday, January 22 at 4:30 pm.
