DignityFIRM

The DignityFIRM project is driven by the ambition to deepen the understanding of and improve policies related to two pressing realities faced by Europe today and in the future. The first concerns the labour shortages in sectors vital to our food supply chain, which have become more evident since the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Migrant workers play a pivotal role in food production and distribution, but often are not provided with safe and dignified working conditions. The second reality is the EU’s commitment to protecting the dignity of all individuals, including migrant workers in Farm to Fork (F2F) labour markets who are not authorized to stay within the EU. The project aims to generate knowledge, policy suggestions, and practical tools tailored to the unique challenges faced by people who move across borders and work in the food supply chain.
