The Produce Moms Podcast featured a conversation about the importance of honoring the daily contributions that farmworkers make to the food system featuring EFI Marketing and Communications Director LeAnne Ruzzamenti and Misionero’s Marketing Director Nicole Minnich-Zapata.
Listen to the podcast to hear more about the impact of farmworkers’ often unnoticed yet vital tasks that keep the food supply chain functioning, examples of improvements from the labor-management collaborative teams at Misionero, the movement toward the professionalization of farm work and how consumers can support farmworkers with their purchases.
We know what it takes to get fresh and healthy food on our table, but most consumers probably don’t think too deeply into the supply chain. It’s really important to show our appreciation for these men and women who are the backbone of our food system and also to call on the agricultural industry as a whole to better educate consumers about where their food comes from and all the hands that are responsible for it.”
