Employment and agro-ecological transition

Partners: Burkina Faso, France, Ghana Senegal

The question of employment, working conditions and the attractiveness of professions, particularly for young people, is an entry point to the challenges to be met in Africa at the same time as adaptation to climate change, the development of agroecology and food security. EmployAE aims to study the conditions under which agroecology can create quality jobs. This involves i) linking combinations of agricultural practices with work organization (who does what), working hours and working conditions on farms; ii) characterizing the associated jobs (activity profiles, remuneration, social protection arrangements) for farmers, family workers and employees; iii) integrating a work/employment perspective at production level, but also downstream in the value chain.
