Got food? Thank a farmworker! To put a face to the people who help bring food to our tables, students from Student Action with Farmworkers ventured out into the fields to collect stories and pictures. We’ll be sharing these portraits from the field in the café throughout the week to highlight farmworkers’ struggles and dreams.
Follow the conversation online using the hashtag #NFAW2017 on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Learn more about what Bon Appétit is doing to support farmworker rights and protections here.
