Are agri-food workers only exploited in southern Europe? : case studies on migrant labour in Germany, The Netherlands, and Sweden

Abstract

This policy brief, which condenses the findings of an exhaustive report commissioned by the Open Society European Policy Institute (OSEPI) and drafted by a team of researchers coordinated by the Migration Policy Centre at the European University Institute (EUI), focuses on working conditions in the agri-food system in Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. This policy brief provides recommendations for stakeholders at the European and national levels with a view to implementing coordinated initiatives aimed at strengthening and protecting workers’ rights, while at the same time promoting a more sustainable agri-food system in a way that benefits producers, workers and consumers.
