In honor of Cesar Chavez Day and Farmworkers Awareness Week in the US, we’re talking about the state of farming and its implications for farmworkers; for us, our food and our health; and for the planet. We learn from knowledgeable and passionate nutritionist Nimisha Gandhi about how we can make a difference and why it’s in our best interest to do so.
