An initiative promoting the regular employment of migrant workers in the agricultural sector
GA number: 101141197
Funded by: AMIF Duration: 30/04/2024-30/10/2026
Challenge
Migrants and third-country nationals (TCNs) make up a significant portion of agricultural labour in Europe, with over 100,000 non-EU seasonal workers arriving annually. Agriculture is often one of the first sectors where workers are at risk of exploitation. To promote their ethical and legal integration into the sector, a holistic approach and multi-stakeholder partnership are essential.
In this context, awareness of labour rights and support organisations on the part of migrant workers, as well as awareness of the legal and social consequences on the part of the stakeholders in the agricultural supply chain, is fundamental.
Innovation
The INTEGRALITY initiative aims to develop and implement a common multi-stakeholder strategy to promote the regular employment of migrant workers in the agricultural sector, bringing together a variety of stakeholders and decision-makers, including local authorities, farmers, producer associations, intermediary organisations and migrant workers. Through trainings, capacity-building and awareness-raising activities, and the formation of a Manual of Good Practices on Migrant Work Inclusion, the initiative seeks to enhance the integration, protection, and rights of migrant workers while fostering sustainable and ethical labour practices in agriculture.
