Agricultural Ecology Days and Women in Agriculture

October marks the sixth edition of the Agricultural Ecology Days, themed “Diversity Makes Us Strong.” This initiative invites farms, collectives, and organizations across Switzerland to experience agricultural ecology firsthand. In alignment with the United Nations' Year of Women in Agriculture, special emphasis will be placed on the vital roles women play as producers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and catalysts for change in this sector. Various locations and times will be featured throughout the month; further details can be found under “Days of Agricultural Ecology” at agroecologyworks.ch.

Additionally, the AMI (Assistance aux migrant·e·s pour l’intégration) association, founded two years ago, aims to support individuals living in exile in Morocco who find themselves in precarious situations. Paul Braun will share stories of solidarity that have emerged from this initiative during a meeting at Planet 13, Klybeckstrasse 60 in Basel, on October 12, 2026, at 7 PM.

Moreover, discussions surrounding the working conditions of migrant laborers in Southern Italy will take place at the Cultural House Helferei in Zurich on October 9, 2026, at 6:30 PM. The event, led by Manuela Cambrosio, Karl Heuberger, and Christine Voss, focuses on their “Solidarity Journey” to tomato plantations where laborers face dire circumstances while working for minimal wages. They will highlight the “No Cap” project, which promotes fair conditions for tomato cultivation and processing.

Lastly, the “Pleasant University” will host two evenings dedicated to women's issues. On October 9, historian Sarah Baumann will present her book, “Precarious Liberalization: Women's Sexual Work in Switzerland (1950-1990),” followed by a discussion about the evolution of sex work since the 1990s. The following Tuesday, viewers can watch the film “Women in Construction” by Ginger Hobi-Ragaz, followed by a dialogue with key figures such as Seraina Rohner and Delia Dällenbach, highlighting the contributions of women in the construction industry.

For those interested in further exploring these topics, the events promise to be both enlightening and thought-provoking.
