[0:00:00] Speaker 1: When I sat down to have lunch today, I didn't think about
the people that harvested my food. But being out on these farms and in farm
worker communities always reminds me how much we rely on them. Fresh produce is
harvested mostly by hand, and it's really physically demanding work. Which was
why it's so important to find growers that take great care of their people. Farm
workers hear about jobs mostly through word of mouth, so they often don't know
which jobs provide the best work environment until they've already started the
job.

[0:00:34] Speaker 3: The labor situation isn't any easier as a farm owner. I was
shocked to learn that last year over $3 billion of fresh produce was left in the
fields because farmers couldn't find enough workers. Once a worker shows up on
the farm, they often have a hard time communicating, because they don't speak
the same language.

[0:01:05] Speaker 4: I've worked in the orchard sorting cherries and pears and
my grandparents have worked in the fields their whole life. I tried this app and
I showed my grandparents how to use it and I think it will help a lot of people
find the best jobs.

[0:01:19] Speaker 1: Sri and I have over two decades of experience working on
labor issues and agriculture and we believe that Ganaz can improve the lives of
the 1.3 million farm workers in this country and the farmers that employ them.
We are so excited to have you on this journey with us.  [0:01:43]
