Farmers & workers

Overview

The farmers and workers dimension encompasses the health, dignity, profitability, livelihoods, skills, and rights of entrepreneurial actors and those who work within agrifood systems.    


The capacity of farmers and workers to manage land and ecosystems is shaped by working conditions, income stability, skills development, and access to resources.  These conditions determine whether regenerative practices can be adopted and sustained without transferring social, economic, or environmental risk onto those least able to absorb it.  


When livelihoods flourish, farmers and workers are better positioned to nurture soils, support biodiversity, and sustain productive crops, livestock, and water systems. Economic instability and insecure and unstable labor conditions undermine both human resilience and ecological outcomes, linking this dimension directly to governance, finance, and community.
