Abstract

Mitigating pesticide exposure among migrant and seasonal farmworkers (both referred to as “farm­workers” herein) is important for agricul­tural safety and health. Among farmworker pati­ents served by the North Carolina (NC) Farm­worker Health Program in 2021 (N = 11,518), 99% identified as Latine, 98% reported being nonfluent in English, 94% reported incomes below the federal poverty level, and 92% indicated they were uninsured. Prior community-led work in NC with farmworkers, advocates, and others working closely with farm­workers has highlighted demands for expanded employment benefits and improved living and working conditions, including pesticide protections, as well as expanded access to high-quality health care, improved visibility of farm work, and policy change for a better future (Cofie et al., 2023). Efforts to address pesticide exposure are critically important. . . .
