The Salinas Valley, known as the salad bowl of the United States, is struggling with
poverty and malnutrition among the migrant farmworkers who harvest its crops.
More than a third of the children in the Salinas City Elementary School District are
homeless; overall diabetes rates are rising and projected to soar; and 85 percent of
farmworkers in the valley are overweight or obese, partly because unhealthy food is
less costly, said Marc B. Schenker, a professor at the University of California, Davis,
who studies the health of farmworkers.
“The people who grow our food can’t afford to eat it, and they are sicker because of it,”
said Joel Diringer, a public health specialist and advocate for farmworkers. “It’s an
incredible irony that those who work in the fields all day long don’t have access to the
fresh produce that they harvest.”
For decades, the fields of the Salinas Valley have been a revolving door of migrants,
from the Okies of John Steinbeck’s writings to the Latin American immigrants who
tend the fields today. Ninety-one perc ent of farmwo rkers in Califo rnia are fo reign born,
primarily from Mexico, according to the United States Department of Labor.
While the valley’s vegetables are reaching an ever-growing number of American
households, public health officials say there are no signs of improvement in the living
conditions and diets of farmworkers.

The Arctic Ocean may seem remote and forbidding, but to birds, whales and other
animals, it’s a top-notch dining destination.
“It’s a great place to get food in the summertime, so animals are flying or swimming
thousands of miles to get there,” said Kevin R. Arrigo, a biological oceanographer at
Stanford University.
But the menu is changing. Confirming earlier research, scientists reported Wednesday
that global warming is altering the ecology of the Arctic Ocean on a huge scale.
The annual production of algae, the base of the food web, increased an estimated 47
percent between 1997 and 2015, and the ocean is greening up much earlier each year.
These changes are likely to have a profound impact for animals further up the food
chain, such as birds, seals, polar bears and whales. But scientists still don’t know
enough about the biology of the Arctic Ocean to predict what the ecosystem will look
like in decades to come.
Since the mid-2000s, researchers like Dr. Arrigo have been trying to assess the effects
of retreating ice on the Arctic ecosystem.
The sun returns to the Arctic each spring and melts some of the ice that formed in
winter. Algae in the open water quickly spring to life and start growing. These algae are
the base of the food chain in the Arctic Ocean, grazed by krill and other invertebrates
that in turn support bigger fish, mammals and birds.
