The agricultural sector across Europe faces a significant employment crisis, stemming from a dual challenge: a dearth of interest among domestic workers and a scarcity of skilled labour. Consequently, many countries rely on immigrant labour, predominantly from non-EU nations.

Addressing the social, economic, and cultural integration of these workers necessitates tailored and often experimental approaches by employers. The MILIMAT project endeavours to tackle these challenges through several means: collecting best practices from partner countries (Italy, Spain, France, Greece, and Austria), and ultimately establishing a communication, training, and information platform for employers and employees or prospective employees.

We started the project with a series of reports including an European analysis, as well as the national context in the partner countries, of the situation regarding the economic and social inclusion of migrants in agriculture, presenting also the opportunities and policies in place. This report is available on our online platform.

This publication consolidates the work done until now with 10 best practices identified directly by the project partners in collaboration with implementing individuals. These practices encompass initiatives led by managers or employers, as well as training and information endeavours by associated companies.
