商品簡介
Academics and practitioners concerned with the well-being of hired farm workers, the communities in which they live and work, and agriculture gathered in Philadelphia in October 1999 under the auspices of the US Department of Agriculture and Pennsylvania State University to share their views. The 18 studies cover trends, adjustments, and technical change in the farm workforce; hired farm labor, employers, and community response; health and safety; and data comparisons. Most of them draw from US experience, but Mexico, Canada, and Australia are also cited. Distributed in the US by Oxford University Press. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
