mproving the health, safety, and justice of farmworkers in the eastern United States will require advocacy to effect changes in labor, health, occupational, and environmental policy. This chapter summarizes three common themes on the health and justice of farmworkers that emerge from the chapters in this volume: (1) information to document farmworker health and safety is incomplete; (2) the limited information that is available provokes grave concerns about farmworker health and justice; and (3) deficits in farmworker health and farm labor justice result from current agricultural policy.
