AREA OF ACTIVITY:

SafeHabitus is a multi-actor project that has come together to strengthen Farm Health and Safety Knowledge Innovation Systems (FHS KIS) and support the EU transition to social sustainability in farming. Our premise is that driving health and safety on farms is not about dissemination but changing habitual practices.

One of the most vulnerable actors in European agriculture is migrant workers, often subject to labour exploitation and poor housing conditions among other problems. This project aims to understand how global agricultural chains, from workspaces to the supermarket and, finally, the consumer, may have a direct influence on migrant workers’ conditions.
