California's Excessive Rainfall Impacts Farmworkers and Crops.

Rounds of atmospheric river events have decimated crops and reduced work opportunities for many of California's farmworkers, who lack access to social safety nets. The storms have caused lasting structural damages, compounding the loss of work for farmworkers. Federal disaster assistance is largely only available to people with "housing, business or personal property damaged," leaving out many farmworkers actively navigating loss of livelihood due to the floods. Climate change events alter the water cycle, which alters soil health and consequently food production, taking a toll on the agricultural sector.
