This presentation will explore working and environmental conditions at the bottom of the corporate supply chain. Wage workers are often at the sharpest edge of the exploitative practices of corporate food systems that aim to extract wealth from both the land and the people that work it. Agribusinesses in Spain and Morocco, who supply the UK’s supermarket system, employ thousands of migrant workers who face oppressive working conditions, exposure to poisonous agrichemicals, and repression from a hostile migration system. Through a presentation of photos from recent international delegations, Catherine will seek to reveal the reality of an industrial food system based on the exploitation of the land and the people that work it, and introduce the work of the LWA’s Migrant Worker Solidarity Project in support of workers in their struggle for human conditions on their farms.
