About

How to improve the living and working conditions of migrant workers in agriculture and the food industry. 

Project Outcomes

  • Despite their vital role in the agri-food sector, (irregular) migrant workers often face poor and exploitative working conditions and have largely been overlooked.
  • Measures addressing the needs of farmers and ensuring adequate protection for agricultural workers, including (irregular) migrant workers, will be indispensable to achieving sustainability and resilience.
  • Targeted measures for migrant workers include the protection-sensitive implementation and enforcement of relevant labour standards, as well as efforts to address structural conditions leading to irregularity.
  • Achieving sustainability and resilience will also require enhanced efforts to address the uneven distribution of wealth in the supply chain, boosting farmers’ competitiveness and strengthening their position vis-à-vis downstream actors
