Transversal views on work in agriculture

Multifacet realities of work in agriculture

Agriculture employs 1.3 billion people throughout the world. Changes to working conditions in agriculture are investigated by several disciplines that explore different themes. These themes are summarized here through two areas: one that focuses on the worker (employment, health and skills) and the other on work as a component of farming systems. The analytical frameworks and core research issues are described. This paper is designed to be a general introduction to the special issue of Cahiers Agricultures, entitled “Multifacet realities of work in agriculture”.

“Multifacet realities of work in agriculture” is a special issue from journal Cahiers Agriculture coordinated by Benoît Dedieu (INRA), Julio César Damasceno (UEM), Guillermo Neiman (CONICET) and Sandra Schiavi (UEM). 

Articles were selected from proceedings of the 1st International Symposium on Work in Agriculture, which was held in November 2016 at the State University of Maringá (UEM), Brazil.
