North Carolina Farmworker Health Program
Cultivating Care
What We Do
The North Carolina Farmworker Health Program (NCFHP) works to advance the health of agricultural worker communities by supporting partners with resources, technical assistance and shared learning.
- Over 70,000 agricultural workers and their family members are estimated to reside in North Carolina.
- Agriculture is a $100-billion-a-year industry in North Carolina and is dependent on a healthy workforce.
- Agriculture is one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States, posing numerous occupational health risks.
- Agricultural worker populations are traditionally underserved because of barriers to care including transportation, language, cost and isolation.
