Please read attached article and respond with short answers to the following:
1) What are the primary hardships farm workers commonly face?
2) Why do large upscale grocery chains generally resist advertising their products as 'sweat-free food', or 'fair trade'? (Not to be confused with organic or GMO-free signs. I am also aware of the fact that some items such as tea or coffee are, indeed, labeled as fair trade.)
3) How different is our behavior towards immigrant farm workers currently working on large farms (practicing organic or conventional farming methods) from those towards slavery in the past? (Feel free to discuss this within the context of the current political climate.)
4) Should we be concerned about the realities of the working conditions of immigrant farm workers today?
5) The state of California is the agricultural powerhouse of North America and is the largest supplier of organic produce. At the same time, the state is experiencing one of the driest spells in its known history.
