AgroWork
Agricultural labor and agroecological transition
AgroWork examines agricultural workers' realities in Senegal and explores agroecology's potential to improve their working conditions and livelihoods. The project documents power relations in agri-food value chains and analyzes how the agroecological transition can redistribute benefits toward the most precarious workers in the sector.
