Research by a UVM anthropologist suggests that a majority of migrant farmworkers in Vermont face serious barriers to accessing nutritious food – in addition to other enormous challenges. We're talking to Teresa Mares about her new book Life On the Other Border: Farmworkers and Food Justice in Vermont.
Teresa Mares, a UVM anthropology professor, fills the book Life On the Other Border with portraits of Vermont's migrant farmworkers who work in the dairy industry, and writes about how the experiences of these workers touches on food policy, labor rights, immigration and the agricultural economy.
We'll also hear from Marita Canedo of Migrant Justice.
