Hasta La Raíz | Down to the Root

Hispanic people make up the majority of US farmworkers, yet only 4% of farm owners are Hispanic.

Javier Zamora immigrated to the US from Mexico when he was a young man, worked in restaurants and bought a house for his family. When he lost the house and his job during the housing crisis, he decided to complete his high school diploma and go back to his farming roots.
