significant risk of human extinction from advancing our system. series continues to d. w. the the seasonal migrant workers in italy. most of them harvest fruits and vegetables destined for elsewhere in europe. they earn a pittance defense. some people could make 2500 a year because he was like 2 months us one or 2 months we time to get to see them rate because from maybe 0 can you opposite can. are you looking for more to perform what literally off the road to easier for you or your company to 3000 maybe highs that is nobody to thousands of these migraines live in shantytown square?

there is no electricity, no running water and no toilets. the in mid april, it's emptier than usual in both of them. it's. i don't a near the city of georgia. this is one of italy's largest informal settlements. how suca salma is a migrant worker. there's not much to harvest and poorly at this time of year. there's been a lot of rain in the last few days, so work in the surrounding fields has ground to a halt to pass the time cows who is visiting a neighbor who lives

a few shacks away. he's my friend, i come to visit my friend. i really appreciate it from you. um is this is like uh, dental ease. my plan was i is looking looking for the full force. okay. this is for you. right. right. i put this in for yesterday and i'm trying to put some use for the needs sometimes i want to do something i don't even need to because by saying easy to do to get to every day, the money would be enough to one of the of that's why we, we have to use it for, for these 5. these are the can you provide me with the one can see that couldn't be shown here is too small with enough

because many voice maybe have, you know, they expect you to have a place like the value come from a new find another place that gets enough with these none of the house who has recognized refugee status and is allowed to work in italy. but seasonal work as a farm hand is all he's ever been able to find a one place to live. that's why i'm he came to you because i mean the life i'm leaving, bob cool. easily efficient to leave the so that's why we call i come to your house who is 29 and has been in europe for 12 years. he was 17. when he was rescued, trying to cross the mediterranean and a small boat. the

i'm from gun. yeah. ok. i came to maybe i didn't talk to maybe i can be said. but my proposal for me to talk to somebody to so to me we need to get a life. that's why we buy me to italy's agricultural sector relies on migrant workers like him. they come from africa, india and pakistan. and once here falls victim to what's known as the agro mafia, the italian trade union, c, g i l, estimates that around 400000 people are exploited or illegally employed in agriculture across the country. the mafia has infiltrated the industry. couple in ali, our mafioso who act as middleman between farmers and labors. they keep a close eye on the workers and make sure they produce as much as possible.

accompanying house, who in the fields would be a risk for everyone? because that's what they want to do. so what they would take tardy to work. i literally work locally the no, no pay you want it. so you, you have to what kind of you have when he meets, what can you do? you don't know where he's stay. why do you come to the coast anyway? i have no power to go and look for you. so you're welcome me for the one the front of the place because when you work within the 20 days or more on that later, she will not tell you. no, no, i'm going to pay. what can you do? this exploitation of field workers in italy has been happening for over a century. in the past the mafia exploited italian laborers. now the victims are migrants who were unable to defend themselves. but there are people who are fighting on their behalf. the

yvonne suddenly once worked in the fields of puleo in southern italy, himself, he experienced expectations firsthand and organized a protest. today he campaigns for fair wages and decent working conditions in the agricultural sector. in 2011, he found that an organization that obliges producers to pay farm workers fair wages . it's called no cap. as in no cap, what ali sonya is visiting a strawberry farm that works with the organization. around 150 people work on this 150 hector farm. and when you're naples for 7, euro and $0.98 per hour, they have health insurance producer mikaela montela complies with the sectors wage agreement ones all of that. yeah. so let's go this way. gomez,

w the schools out there was do you have a minute? all right, have you heard of? no, cannot even look up. may not even i'm on. i'm sorry you back. sorry about society, the ones where are you from the machine a fast. oh, do you not ugly anymore? romania, romania, the king of paso ma lane is saying i got santa go gambia instead of outside of international montana is unfair like that. and that's who dollar, but i think i'm a, we're a family. yeah, that's right. that's good. in the city. i know you from last year. hi. good morning . i'm doing great level the i'm open to the week. i'm paying for what goes wrong. that's not what authority, but k, i bought it, they won't say they're all producers who are like mckayla, montana, martinos as in and also to exploit the way. cuz okay, and don't give them a contract what authority normally bought. and even if they do know funding, they pay badly funded,

are going to that the funding contract amount on final banning mccaleb montela is $1.00 of your biggest producers of organic strawberries. many of the fruit pickers come back here every year to work for him in the harvest season. the high alley. so right is that most of the people who most share us, you know, even safe and sound. yes, yes. we met during the potato hospice and how are you? how's your family? because you know, took that off of my family's good. i think the lord, i think the lord and how are you doing doing well good. it'll come through. yeah. we just checking how many hours you work a day like they will. 7 will jordan no, not 20. right? say they said this is not they know 20 because some do 10. 1213. right. so no, no, no, no, no. uh okay. the week. wow. no 7, it's fine. okay. okay. boosted god pace. now due to

the stuff i do today, i always to pay slips in the simpler was about man. we yvonne sonya exchanges telephone numbers with several of the workers and tells them to contact him if they have any problems in normally what's your full name? the home mode, i highly visible outcome phone at all. okay, who is it? okay. if i can help, i will, and your brother to your friends, give me a call. we'll help you if you need a lawyer. lemme see if i have a problem with my documents. i'll contact you about a lawyer the wrong so okay, and then we have a lawyer. i use the car, but i 20 agricultural companies have joined the no cap network since 2019 yvon. sonya has helped around 1500 migrants and secure

proper employment contracts. the same so i'm yeah, it keeps my life meaning when i walk i'm happy level little bit of internet because i trying to make out that people have a qualitative cd chase when i see that happy it gives meaning to my existence. i'm happy with that that i mean otherwise life wouldn't be worth living now. leave it that give you living a need for yourself. makes no sense in the cleaning we need to give happen is to the people around us, sort of the private leader and professionally. a lot of it, but certainly good to keep going down know setup to to be the stop with you bought the proof is yvonne son, yay. is on a mission to put a stop to the exploitation of workers in italy's agricultural sector, but he never planned to be an activist. he originally wanted to be an engineer.

sunjay was born in cameron room in 1985. he came to whitley on a scholarship in 2007 to study. in the summer of 2011, he worked in the tomato field puleo because he wanted to earn some extra money. go to the same level, the working conditions with terrible on one particular day i exploded with angus and that's how the strike began. he convinced thousands of harvest workers to stop working. there was an outbreak challenge to the mafia which is sort of i'd have to so you know, we were threatened with guns knives faced and more cautious. sonya sparked a debate about the agro mafia that paved the way for laws that criminalize the capital locked or system. in 2017, he was awarded the border of merit of the italian republic and encouragement

to try me in 2018. the no cap organization that pushed for fair working conditions in agriculture was still in its infancy lot has happened since then. today, no cap is an established network and a brand the the gina nima has been working at a strawberry farm since last year. she picks up her fellow workers at the train station in advance of a small town near naples. the many bus service is free. that's

not something that can be taken for granted. most field workers in southern italy have to pay out of their own pocket to get to work. the black market bosses use the shuttle service as a way of cutting the workers wages. the gina avo niema drives a mini bus provided by eve on sundays organization. when it's harvest season in southern italy, 20 no cap buses take $350.00 people to work free of charge every day. the tina and her team pack strawberries that grow and michela montela fields into plastic trays. they're destined for major supermarket chains in germany, denmark and other countries in europe. the organic strawberries are about 30 percent more expensive than ones produced on other farms where workers

are exploited. of the shift is 7 hours long, including a one hour break. no cap of regularly checks that the working hours are adhered to no cost and will not be as low as it. that's why everybody most comes to know. everybody must know about no cost. so that's not the slice it in this sec. here i guess once has on 100, all 1150. i got to the phase. when i come to us, if i don't make any sense, sometimes i'm nissan because i have to with her other jobs, she earns about $800.00 euros a month. but often works longer shifts than she does here. they don't get pastries like these anywhere else either. it feels like

it's like ever working for me, tell us what she was like uh and finally she worked for mikaela montela for 3 months. but after the harvest, he won't have any more work for her. the migrant workers are used to having to scramble from job to job on this. like i said, this is only yeah, unless i, if i the cleaning, i'll be as pleasant as part of the jobs. so let's say 10 everyone wanted to know are you running green is best for the sex on the . i love my grand prairie the way from so one day, maybe one day when i go back to my conference, i will try to make a farm. is it flashing it with my mother?

she's still for me and i'll let you back here. sorry something that will which doesn't look. i love to see the land there so beautiful. the tina auburn nima is treated well michela montela strawberry farm, but his farm is an exception. most field worker's labor in terrible conditions. there are debts every year, from sheet on the fields or an accidents with overloaded trucks. the notorious both of them, it's a known islam grew up on the runway of a disused airport. fires have broken out here in this sprawling chaotic shantytown . people have died in april, that's emptier than usual. many of the people who live here and have moved to calabria for the orange harvest. the mafia even makes money from both of them. it's a known name, building houses and renting them out to workers. cows to kazama is one of the few

skilled laborers here. he's go to bricklaying, plumbing and repairing roofs. but he can't conjure water out of nowhere. seed as low as a. yeah. this is how we normally kind of what the, what today that is little water. so of for now, yeah, for now you cannot do anything. so that's what was the problem. twice a week and aid organization fills the tanks with drinking water. but it's not enough. if anyone arrives too late, they get nothing. i see seem like obstacle because i forgot one. so you some how or what the problems y'all from any problems like what's uh it yeah that 12 people need good life to change. that's why many people

today because they're not on good life because of some of the, it seems like this. the slum 1st emerged some 20 years ago. a collection of make shift shacks of cardboard and plastic. these days there are also buildings erected by the mafia where residents have to pay rent of about $50.00 euro a month for a home without a toilet. they have no choice, but to use the surrounding fields. is very difficult. that's, that's the, that's the life live without doing that because every day you, while you're doing, you are doing what you need to come out diagnose yourself. so if you don't have to do that, it's not good at all. of ensuring access to water and sanitation for all is one of the goals of the united nations agenda. 2030 toilets are recognized human rights that has been ignored by the authorities in southern italy for years. the state tolerates them. humane conditions the official refugee camp and forward. yeah.

which has a water supply in sanitary facilities is located right next to the slums where some 5000 people live during the tomato harvest the but it's not just the toilets that are lacking. the residence of both of them, it's unknown. they are also cut off from the internet. yvonne suddenly a believes free access to the internet is crucial. in the slums church, he's meeting up with a man who shares his face and approves of his mission. son, he hopes to persuade pastor charles to support his plan for an internet cafe inside the church. i hope that more people went through sent email.

if you want to send e mail, you come to the same email like internet affairs. i know that you don't going to full job too, but anything but you have a need to you. this is the project. ok. split. very simple and i, i really thank you all for the big god bless you on the good in these your business and then my team of jesus christ. thank you. i mean, i mean i'm very up, be assessed. i'm ready. ok, thank you. let me pull it up. can you take a picture of me? take a photo of me, the priest and the computer that i really i'm calling to complete the a muscle pass to the best spot to the thought a lot. it's about making it easier to access the internet so they can send emails

good. make photocopies that cake was too lucky if they need to make a copy of that residents problem. they don't id con, which i mean and then they have to travel to funk jazz, which is far away, but not for john k monitor on town with the queen, the fold you is the provincial capital of polio. it's around 20 kilometers west of both of them. it's not only yvonne sun, yay! is visiting a branch of a larger. tell egon supermarket chain there of the limits in 2019 the organization teamed up with producers to sell fresh vegetables and tomato posada certified with the know cap logo. wow, i the spell crazy. i used to look up the know capital the, the, the, that all of them. so move to 9 2nd because the top cats are allowed to

put a lot of, there's no kind of cop to if 80 percent to something come to regional produced in collaboration with no cap, no cap. it'd be to cannick and did santa come to go no cap products or around a 3rd more expensive then conventionally produced products. their own prominent display in the store, thanks to the manager to meet on sonya has known for years. 7 7 jones director and how's it going for most customers appreciate the products because of the quality and the social aspect . we live in a region where the problem is deeply rooted. so some people welcome the initiative

. they're very open to buying no cap goods. is it most of the key spots of the veterans? the support of the supermarket chains is very important. and so these, it allows for an ethical supply chain and helps improve conditions for the workers and also have the company level. it's on a question of the price, right? any price that's at the end, right? so now i see around $300000.00 no cap cans and bottles of tomato posada are sold every year. this is a fraction of the more than 6000000 tons of 10 tomatoes produced in italy every year, mostly, and inhumane conditions. fairly produced goods are still nice products in this supermarket, which heavily promotes the no cap products 2 out of 10 customers choose them.

i used to have you seen the stop capital alonzo product for the building to see if there's any so that's fennel, right? so if you know it's panels, and i get under joel. yeah. so now it makes me very happy. i'm very touch it a see a few years ago. i couldn't to imagine that our products would be on the shelves of a launch supermarket. i don't mean my g novel just sort of presenting that quote and that email super adult to natalie scott finally do need it. so gratifying to have achieved test results equipment and will not be left with dyslexia. and i big catch up on the godaddy goal could i focus the of the company is distributors and consumers all have to play that part on it. it goes to my goal, goes to my boy. i think we'd be able to find a lot of positive yet 8 out of 10 customers still decide

against no cap products. basically allowing the exploitation of workers to continue, even if they don't realize that the there's no minimum wage and italy the end of the minimum wage could definitely give work or stability. somebody thought it would at least provide them with a secure monthly income on that just that side slot again, distribute on. no, and you mentioned most e u countries have a minimum wage in germany. it was also a wage dumping in the agricultural sector that prompted politicians to introduce legislation. field workers like how to cut some would benefit greatly from a minimum wage. right now, he has another problem in order to extend his residence permit, he needs a permanent address. that's what the, what do you living in this place want to go and stay inside the don't know to do the conditions. why would we will i hit with some difficult difficulty of housing

where to find houses and then you know, the, that's the problem because if you go and look for houses where they will know, like to read to you, that would say no, we don't one block this is a rental, our house, and some of the stuff, one of the you said kind of slightly what we are leaving here. so we have to be, you have to will be what since hit the condition needed. you have to obviously because you want the money to use the one giving you want to do it. that's what it is. it kind of slaves. of course, instead of close to the, the, the government in rome is aware that there is widespread exploitation in the agricultural sector. in 2016, a new law tackling forms of severe labor exploitation in agriculture was introduced

in part thanks to yvonne suddenly. he now lives in rome with his wife and 2 children. he feels safer here than in the south. his apartment is also his workplace. from here, he continues to campaign for the rights of migrant workers. he says the country needs to understand their contribution to italy quickly. so what i would have to get it up is, is done to these people that helping boost the economy to the fund moves that they're working for. it's really not just for themselves funding that if it gets installed without migrants, italian agriculture would be in trouble to get it so that you can keep it all. so it's the duty of the states to respond to the needs of the seasonal workers and across the country to provide them with accommodation in the the apple used. but it

looks like the government isn't interested would. maybe i would have to go to specials on a deep dive. yeah. and we're at a standstill. right now. things are going defined quite just for me. that goes and say yvonne sonya wants to put an end to criminal exploitation of migrants. and he's planning to launch no cabin spain, portugal and greece, where workers are also faced with in humane conditions that he experienced himself and will never forget. the once they started doing, they develop an interest because they have grown at them, says vegetables instead of rice. children in india are trying alternative basics.

because rice harvest you are following a consequence. applying that change mean eating habits are extremely important, especially for young people growing up eco, india. in 30 minutes. d w, the
