At #KinderUni, we explored these questions with students in a workshop on food systems, farming, and rural life—co-led with @oebv_via_campesina & @BNK.
👩🌾 Stories of work, heritage & change.

@ec.europa.eu, @christophehansen.bsky.social the upcoming #CAP review is the opportune moment to create a shift in the agricultural sector. Make it count! The EU needs and deserves a gender tranformative food system 🚜🥕
Full briefing wih recommendations from the #SWIFTProject below ⬇️
🧑🌾Farm workers and especially seasonal migrants are the backbone of our food system.
Yet many face exploitation, low wages, and unsafe working conditions.
This needs to be addressed in the #CAP. The dignity and safety of workers are non-negotiables for a just food system.
✊
#SWIFTProject
To create a fair and sustainable food system, the EU must support small and medium agroecological farms ➕ ensure fair prices for farmers.
Here's how ⬇️
#SWIFTProject #CAP @oxfam.be
The #CAP must and can tackle the issues that women and gender-diverse people face head on ⬇️
Think education 🧑🏫, farm management 🧑🌾 and access to subsidies 🫴 that are harder to obtain for them because of structural inequalities.
#SWIFTProject @oxfam.be
🟢🟣 New briefing shows how the EU can create a gender diverse and transformative agri-sector
First: create the political will ➕ involve marginalised groups in decision-making processes to ensure their needs are taken into account
@ec.europa.eu @christophehansen.bsky.social
#SWIFTProject #CAP
To create a truly equal and sustainable food system we must ensure that workers are heard, supported and protected.
The EU's #CAP is one way of achieving this. Check out these 5️⃣ recommendations by the #SwiftProject to discover the why's ➕ how's of delivering gender transformative agri policies🥔
Women & migrants have a crucial role in farming but are often overlooked in policy & undervalued in practice. Gendered roles, legal inequality & exploitative labour conditions are symptoms of a system that relies on cheap food at a high human cost. The 🇪🇺 must tackle this! #SWIFTProject t.ly/mmXzX
