Best Practices against Work Exploitation in Agriculture (Be-Aware)

The Best Practices against Work Exploitation in Agriculture project aims to put together and evaluate practices which tackle the problem of work exploitation in agriculture undertaken by stakeholders and investors (institutions, companies and civil society) in a number of different European countries: the objective is to present them to the public in order to forge their use.

The preliminary results cover four initiatives promoted in Europe in the fight against work exploitation in agriculture. In order to evaluate them, six categories were used aimed at measuring: the impact on work, innovation; suitable employment; multilateral approach, access to data and  control. The Be-Aware Assessment System (the categories and their indicators ) was developed following the Delphi method,  developed by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and by the European Commission (2009), based on the indicators developed by ILO (2012) and on the parameters developed by the European Federation of Food, Agriculture and Tourism Trade Unions (EFFAT).

The innovative model of analysis applies the following criteria:

- the ability to be replicable and used elsewhere

-  the compliance to the indicators identified in the analysis model

During the meeting the teaser of the documentary of the group of independent journalists “River Journal Project”  will be screened. It will be broadcast as from spring 2018
