The Real Cost of Cheap Groceries:
Interesting article, but this is the quote I thought most interesting of all.
Farm work may be a hard, undesirable job but it is one that’s in high demand. Mexico’s dramatic decline in fertility rates and its investments in rural education has led to a reduction in the available workforce. Further complicating matters is the current U.S. political environment, in which unresolved policy questions about immigration and border enforcement could further diminish the labor pool. Indeed, Taylor and his colleagues posit that we may be approaching the end of the plentiful supply of labor in U.S. farming that has fueled the system for so long.
