dc.description.abstract | Canada’s Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) is crucial to the Canadian agri-food system because it supplies labourers in a market with significant worker shortages. Consumers and the Canadian economy benefit from imported labour within the agricultural context. Reports have indicated that many SAWP workers live in unhealthy and undignified environments while employed in Canada. The research for this project was collected via a literature review and applied to a theoretical landscape design. This project suggests designing healthier living environments for SAWP workers through a prototype and site-based approach to landscape planning and design. | en_US |
