Abstract

Farm labor and immigration are controversial topics. Legislation at the federal and state levels is either pending or is being implemented, and will affect not only the availability of labor for harvesting food horticulture and servicing environmental horticulture as well as the otherwise impacted industries of construction, education, food service, entertainment and tourism. The background, situation and outlook for labor in the Georgia and national food horticulture arena, especially for the labor intensive harvesting of fresh produce, is presented, as is a similar diagnosis of the labor for environmental horticulture and other food and fiber agribusiness-related sectors in Georgia.
