IHCenter Member Group

The purpose of the Center for Farmworker Families is to
promote awareness about the difficult life circumstance experienced by
members of binational farmworker families, while proactively inspiring
engagement in activities that are designed to improve farm family
binational family life, both in the United States and in Mexico.
We realize this purpose by
engaging in the following activities:
- promoting the educational advancement of
farmworkers and their family members working in U.S. agriculture, as
well as family members who are living on their farms of origin in the
west central Mexico countryside;
- supporting projects in both Mexico and California
designed to sustainably promote financial and nutritional well-being
along with self-reliance and independence;
- examining the federal and state legal structures
that govern the lives and well-being of farmworkers and working to
bring about the changes needed for improved livelihood and well-being;
- continuing scholarly research and publication of
books and articles that are designed to raise public awareness and
provide proactive solutions to the plight of binational farmworker
families in the global economy.
