Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Wisconsin - Madison, 2024.

Labor plays a critical role within the smaller scale diversified vegetable industry, yet many farmers struggle to see a future for themselves in farming - one that adequately supports their emotional, physical, and financial needs. Presented in the form of an applied scholarship portfolio and directly informed by farmers' voices, the four distinct components of this dissertation explore how farm-level policies, practices, and professional development can build long-term career opportunities for farmworkers in ways that also support enhanced social and economic resilience for farm owners. In "Growing organic vegetables during a pandemic: Case studies of two Midwestern farms," I explore how two farms navigated the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic, paying close attention to the crucial role that strong employment practices and greater employee retention can have on farmer and farm-level resiliency. In "The TEAMs program: Supporting the human element of diversified vegetable production," I discuss the creation of a peer-to-peer labor management training program that supports career advancement for farmworkers through strengthened leadership and management skills. In "Farming into the future by centering farmworkers: A deep dive into what diversified vegetable farm employees value in a work experience" my co-authors and I present data, tips, and examples that can help farm owners meet workers' needs in ways that also bolster the farm business. And in "Skilling and scaling agroecology: A case study from the U.S.," my co-authors and I offer a framework that recognizes workers' skills as a primary driver for advancing a just transition from conventional production towards agroecological food systems. Together, these components seek to emphasize that when we invest in and nurture farmworkers, the entire industry stands to benefit.
