In 2006, a recently created ICE cracked down on undocumented labor in meatpacking plants. Large meat companies were desperate for workers, and so they turned to a new source of vulnerable labor – refugees. This shift transformed the nation’s food economy and the cities and towns that feed us. Greeley, Colorado, home to the U.S. headquarters of JBS, the world’s largest meat processor, was transformed by refugee workers – a change with deep cultural and political ramifications. This episode was produced in collaboration with 99 Percent Invisible, and with funding from the 11th Hour Food and Farming Fellowship at UC Berkeley.
