IDAHO ORGANIZATION OF RESOURCE COUN

Ag & food: iorc is dedicated to growing community power amongst latinx farmworkers in the state. This includes providing leadership development programs for community members and developing strategic campaigns to push for policies that benefit those in the community. Goal 1: protect farmworker health. Monitor and strengthen aerial pesticide application rules in idaho. In 2020, two dozen farmworkers were poisoned from one incorrect pesticide application by an airplane applicator. Since then, iorc has worked with those injured and the larger latinx farmworker community to protect and expand on existing regulations in the state pertaining to aerial applications of pesticides. Iorc will continue over the two years to push for stronger regulations. Goal 2: build strong farmworker-led organizing. Iorc will continue to build out its organizing work with latinx farmworkers by recruiting, training, and engaging community members on issues that impact them the most.
