🌾Online Event- Farm Workers in South Africa and the Struggle for Justice 🌾
with Carmen Louw and Stephmarie Pekeur, hosted in collaboration between Women on Farms Project and the Farmers Without Borders
🗓️ *Tuesday, 14.04.2026 at 6pm (CEST/SAST)*
💻 *Online – Please register here:* https://uni-kassel.zoom-x.de/meeting/register/9vBMIT2RRoC3fywYyBAr3g
South Africa’s agricultural sector is deeply integrated into global markets, supplying supermarkets worldwide with products such as table grapes and wine. Yet many (women) farm workers and farm dwellers behind these exports face precarious working and living conditions. On many farms, ownership and power remain concentrated among white farm owners, and everyday relations are still characterised by reflect inequalities rooted in apartheid.
This online event explores the realities of life and work on South African farms. We will discuss power dynamics in the agricultural sector, the role of agribusiness, housing and living conditions, gendered experiences of farm labour, and how women workers navigate growing precarity. The conversation also highlights how farm workers and dwellers organize, resist, and raise their voices, while inviting reflection on the global food system and ongoing struggles for dignity, labour rights, and justice on farms.
*Carmen Louw* is the Women on Farms Project Co-Director and *Stephmarie Pekeur* is a Seasonal Farm Worker.
We are looking forward to share this space with agricultural practitioners, food rights activists and friends from the food sovereignty movements. You are warmly invited to join us and are welcome to share the invitation with your networks!

Why are some farms weathering the fertiliser crisis better than others?
Because they don’t rely on it.
Regenerative & agroecological farming shows how to build resilience free of fossil fuels.
Going beyond planting means to understand the cycle that connects the soil, food, and life.
In an urban context, these moments foster a conscious bond with the rhythm of nature and the origin of our food.
In the garden, we unearth essential knowledge and strengthen the relation to the local area, promoting awareness, participation, and a sense of belonging.
More than just a practice, it is a way of thinking about food as an integral part of life, health, and culture.🌱
