Research project Farm work: work processes, segmentation patterns and sustainability visions in Swedish farming

The target group are farmers, their spouses and families, and workers, permanent and temporary. The latter, importantly, include migrant, seasonal laborers, about which there is little research in Sweden today. We will also map out visions on how environmental sustainability can be achieved while maintaining decent work conditions. A key question is how production and employment goals are balanced with goals for decent and inclusive work opportunities, gender equality, environmentally sustainable production and climate mitigation. An important deliverable is an in-depth qualitative survey of farm work in Sweden today, as it is experienced by farmers and workers, which will help map out labor segmentation in farming.
