Global flows of workers from Central America and the Caribbean to sustain agricultural production in the US are highlighted in this presentation. Based on interviews with farmworkers, we will examine their motivations for leaving home, their experience in the US, long term goals and structural challenges. We will explore the particular health vulnerabilities of immigrant workers under COVID-19, and strategies to maintain communication with and support for building capacity among this population.
