THE 3RD MEETING OF SAFEHABITUS PROJECT PARTNERS AND PARTICIPATION IN THE SAFEHABITUS POLICY SEMINAR – “SEASONAL AND MIGRANT WORKERS IN AGRI-FOOD VALUE CHAINS”
Researchers Dr. Laura Girdžiūtė, Dr. Anastasija Novikova and Dr. Gediminas Vasiliauskas from Vytautas Magnus University’s Agriculture Academy participated in the third SafeHabitus project’s meeting and SafeHabitus Policy Seminar – “Seasonal and migrant workers in agri-food value chains” from April 9 to 11, 2024.
Safehabitus seminar gathered more than 50 representatives from different European Union countries and institutions who shared their experience and knowledge about the relevant questions regarding the work in agriculture.
The aim of this seminar was to develop a strategic approach to address these challenges in a systematic and forward-looking way involving both policymakers and stakeholders at the EU level and to share the outcomes of the seminar with the EU agri-food Strategic Dialogue.
This Policy Workshop also was dedicated to synthesize the latest and most relevant scientific research and practical insights from a wide variety of stakeholders. It facilitated debate and sharing of perspectives among those actors and European policymakers directly involved on issues related to labour standards and living and working conditions of migrant and seasonal workers. By gathering the latest evidence, we seek to provide policymakers with the knowledge and evidence needed to drive positive change.
The policy seminar was part of a series of policy seminars designed to foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing among policy makers, stakeholders, practitioners, and researchers. It has been organised by SafeHabitus consortium members IAMZ CIHEAM, TEAGASC, GEOPA, CEJA and AEIDL.
