As climate change and economic crises pose serious challenges to agriculture, the head of the farmers' union recently made controversial remarks emphasizing that temporary workers, or "Minijobber", are irreplaceable for this industry.
The Key Role of Temporary Workers
These statements clearly indicate the deep dependency of agriculture on this workforce. Many farmers turn to temporary workers due to a shortage of permanent labor to harvest their products on time. The head of the union called for greater government attention to the needs of this sector and support for temporary workers.
It seems these remarks have resonated not only among farmers but also among policymakers. Will these institutions pay attention to their responsibilities towards this workforce? The future of agriculture depends on the answer to this question.
