Romanian bodies, Irish berries: Migrant horticultural work through the lens of cheapness
Manage episode 420040726 series 3357681
Irish horticulture is heavily reliant on seasonal migrant workers, who are especially vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. With PhD researcher Rebecca Vining, this podcast uses the case study of Romanian-Irish labour migration to identify how this exploitation has been built into the global agri-food system. By applying a "world-ecology" approach, it is possible to link land grabbing in Romania to exploitation in Ireland, and to identify new pathways for solidarity and resistance.
