The Health of Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers

  • Chapter
Handbook of Rural Health

Abstract

The agricultural industry is among the most vital and strategic industries in the United States. Net farm income in 1998 was estimated at $48 billion and agriculture remains at the economic and cultural foundation of most rural communities (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1999). It is a critical component of the U.S. economy and helps support and sustain the American lifestyle. Our highly productive system for growing, processing, and distributing agricultural products allows Americans to enjoy a consistent supply of fruits and vegetables that are readily available in our grocery stores and markets. The foundation of the agricultural industry and of many rural communities is the farmworker.
