It happens worldwide, including in Punjab, where hired hands from across the country come to the northwestern food belt, working the millions of hectors of farmland to feed India. Many are young, as these girls from Madhya Pradesh, tending the small house they stay with other workers at the end of the on the farmer's land within their fields. Today I went to the grocery store where I live, and noticed strawberries were on sale. Two pounds (1 kilogram) for $5 USD, picked by hand in California, driven over 3000 miles (almost 5000 kilometers) to the Berkshires of western Massachusetts. Why so inexpensive? The tragic truth of cheap, underpaid labor. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ India’s Daunting Challenge: There’s Water Everywhere, And Nowhere - Chapter 8 of the @outofedenwalk, my latest story last months (August 2020) issue of @natgeo magazine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #alivingwage #laborers #farm #sweeping #home #punjab #india @natgeo @outofedenwalk #walkingindia #edenwalk」9月16日 11時48分
