The Intersection of Reproductive, Economic, and Agricultural Justice: Addressing Economic, Sociodemographic, and Healthcare Challenges from a State Policy Perspective

This report is a collaboration between the State Innovation Exchange Reproductive Freedom Leadership Council (RFLC), Agricultural and Food systems team, and Economic Power Project (EPP).

The intersection of reproductive, social, and economic justice for rural farmworkers is an essential issue for policymakers due to the implications on economic stability, public health, social equity, and food systems. Investing support in this intersectional issue not only provides essential protections for those who are the backbone of our agricultural system, but also ensures healthier and more prosperous communities as a whole. State legislators should engage with rural organizing groups to protect farmworkers through a collaborative approach to policy creation and implementation that is grounded in community input, collaborative governance, and local solutions.

The report includes background and analysis on the intersection of reproductive, agricultural, and economic justice for farmworkers, state policy recommendations and examples, and key takeaways and resources for state legislators to use in their ongoing work.
