This online event will explore the topic of labour and human rights in global agricultural supply chains.

We will introduce international human rights agreements such as the ILO core labour standards or the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 

Furthermore, we will outline Naturland's social responsibility standards, which Naturland introduced as a pioneer in 2005.

 

Part of the event will be a virtual round table, where the current challenges of agricultural workers and their right to decent work will be discussed from different perspectives and against the background of the country-specific contexts of Uganda, Germany and Ecuador.
