Down on the Farm with Tom Willey
November 7, 2025: PHYSICIAN-ANTHROPOLOGIST SETH HOLMES
Exploiting migrants for backbreaking farm labor is not a California invention. Romanians and Syrians harvest asparagus in Germany. Moroccans and Ecuadorans pick oranges in Spain, while Mexicans and Central Americans pick strawberries here. Physician-Anthropologist Seth Holmes coordinates an international FOODCIRCUITS team exposing ‘invisibilized’ relationships between fresh foods we enjoy and the wellbeing of migrant laborers. Join Seth’s FOODCIRCUITS team in conversation with “Down on the Farm” host Tom Willey.
