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!

On this morning's #AgIssues program on 580 WIBW, I visited with Nick Levendofsky, executive director of the #Kansas #FarmersUnion to preview their annual convention, set for November 29th & 30th in Salina. Two days of sessions and business are scheduled for the convention. And for newer farmers as well as those who aren't familiar with programs available to help their operation, KFU will host a special workshop the day before.

Impact from the planned closure of #poultry #processing facilities in Dexter and Noel will be felt beyond the two communities, especially by farmers growing birds for the #Tyson facilities. Several #Missouri #FarmersUnion members discussed issues concerning #meatpacker consolidation during the National Farmers Union's annual DC Fly-In last month, with the two plants' closures on their minds.

#Missouri #FarmersUnion is among the #agriculture groups hopeful to see a bill enshrining #RightToRepair nationwide come up in Congress. MFU members highlighted the recently introduced bill as part of the National Farmers Union's Fly-In earlier this month to Washington.

I’m lobbying at the USDA for family farmers and ranchers.

I think it’s important to note that they have an entire room just for coffee.

Explains a thing or two.
