In the United States, nearly 15% of the general population is considered food insecure; ethnic minorities, particularly Latinos, experience disproportionately higher rates. Food insecurity is particularly endemic among the migrant and seasonal farmworker population. This article systematically reviews current knowledge related to the prevalence of food insecurity among migrant and seasonal farmworkers. The impact, risk factors, and coping strategies of food insecurity are also presented. The authors argue for targeted social work efforts at mezzo- and macrolevels and make recommendations aimed at the prevention and amelioration of food insecurity.
在美国，近15%的普通人口被认为面临粮食不安全问题；少数族裔，尤其是拉丁裔，面临的比例更高。粮食不安全在移民和季节性农场工人中尤为普遍。本文系统回顾了与移民和季节性农场工人粮食不安全流行率相关的现有知识。还介绍了粮食不安全的影响、风险因素和应对策略。作者主张在中观和宏观层面开展有针对性的社会工作，并提出旨在预防和缓解粮食不安全的建议。
