Abstract

Temporary migrant workers (TMW) in the agrifood system face social determinants of health (SDoH) that contribute to health inequities. Despite their dual residency, the potential of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) to support the health of TMW remains underexamined. SDG transformations provide a framework for implementing interventions and policies. This scoping review aimed to map health promotion interventions and policies for agrifood TMW in high‐income countries by SDoH addressed and categorize them with SDG transformations. Twenty‐six studies were identified from multidisciplinary databases; characteristics and SDoH were charted. While key SDoH were addressed, most interventions and policies clustered within two transformations: ‘Health’ and ‘Education and inequalities’. Gaps in remaining SDG transformations highlight opportunities to strengthen agrifood social and environmental sustainability. By linking health promotion interventions with SDG transformations, this review offers a novel strategy to guide intersectoral, participatory efforts to support TMW health and equity, and inform future research and policy.
