Brilliant look at the myriad factors impacting farmworker health. Reasonably accessible, at least once you get past the introduction, the use of individual profiles helps bring the overarching concepts to life. Everyone who's not already familiar with the realities of farm labour should read this to understand how the food they eat got from the farms to their tables.
My only criticism is that it could use an update. The conclusion brings up new reforms enacted under Brown and Obama, but with little indication of the impact they might have. Understandable as at the time it was largely unknown. A new edition with a look at those reforms (and possibly whether or not they survived the Trump administration) would be helpful. Particularly given the ways in which immigration status and anxiety play into the health of farmworkers.
