Bracero 2.0

In Bracero 2.0, Philip Martin draws on decades of research and experience to explore the role of rural Mexicans in North American agriculture, as well as the implications for farm employers and farm workers, consumers, and the economies of North America. Martin assesses the historical and current demand for and supply of farm labor and the operation of farm labor markets in Canada, Mexico, and the US. He also uses statistical and survey data to provide the most reliable portrait of the five million people who work for wages on North American farms and explores alternatives to US farm workers in major fruits and vegetables, showing how changing consumer preferences can speed or slow mechanization. Bracero 2.0 concludes with options to improve protections for farm workers, highlighting the need for systems that ensure continuous labor law compliance--as with food safety--rather than compliance only for government or private audits.
Philip Martin is Professor of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of California, Davis and editor of Rural Migration News. Martin has served on several federal commissions, testifies frequently before Congress, and works for UN agencies around the world on labor and migration issues. He is an award-winning author whose research focuses on the impacts of migrant workers in destination countries, the effects of emigration and remittances on sending countries, and the recruitment business that moves workers over borders.
