Growing a Better System: Teresa Romero

Farm work is essential — workers spend their days in the fields ensuring there’s no disruption to our food supply and that there’s food on our tables. Yet many farmworkers are undocumented, and our immigration policies lack adequate pathways to legally fill these jobs.

Ali talks to Teresa Romero, President of United Farm Workers, the largest farm workers’ union in the U.S. She talks about bridging the gap between consumers and fieldworkers, how COVID-19 is impacting workers, and finding solutions for growers and fieldworkers alike.
