ISWA - September 27th-30th 2020, Clermont-Ferrand (France)Opening November 15th 2019 / Closing January 15th 2020Argument1.3 billion people work in agriculture, the sector representing 25 % of the total employment in the world. Work in agriculture faces continuities, such as i) the ongoing model of a dominant family-based activity but also with a high contribution of wage earners to the work (42 % of farmworkers are salaried); ii) the large diversity of work contents due to the various production systems (vegetables, crops, indoor or outdoor livestock, etc.) and to the various models of work organization (taylorism, cooperation, externalization of tasks).But work in agriculture also faces changes referring to various dynamics&#160;:&#160; i) the emergence of &#171;&#160;firm models&#160;&#187; with a large use of contractors, as a new figure of highly productive farms; ii) the development of agroecological farming systems combining a large diversity of production systems and regular interactions between farmers and consumers&#160;; iii) the more and more meaningful contribution of migrants to farm work particularly in many OECD countries; iv) the end of ignorance of the negative impacts of chemicals on workers&#8217; health ; v) the consolidation of global chains and its reflects on work and labor governance; vi)&#160; the use of new technologies (robots, sensors, internet) that modify work rhythms, workload and the skills required under the paradigm of Agricultures 4.0.These changes and continuities question the future of work in agriculture: employment, gender equity, health, professional identities, skills, organization, farming models, working conditions and quality of life at work. Are sufficient knowledge, useful frameworks and tools provided to follow up the changes of work in a sustainable way? &#160; Are the various dimensions of work (employment, health, organization&#8230;) connected to build prospects for decent work in the future&#160;?The 2nd Symposium welcomes research, education and extension contributions. The Symposium welcomes various disciplinary approaches of work such as Economics, Ergonomics, Medicine and Health Sciences, Design, Sociology, Management, agrarian sciences and Farming Systems). It proposes conferences&#160;; workshops including oral presentations and poster sessions&#160;; round tables&#160;; participatory discussions and a tool bazard to debate on the different dimensions of work, to explore cross cutting issues, dealing with a deep understanding of the work in agriculture continuities and changes, exploring future scenarios and providing resources for the future.The call for communications will cover 8 themes, leading to 8 workshops. Each of them is detailled by a group of convenors :Workshop 1 - EmploymentWorkshop 2 - Health and Work in Agricultural ActivityWorkshop 3 - Rural DevelopmentWorkshop 4 - Gender issues in agricultureWorkshop 5 - Wage-earnersWorkshop 6 - Forms of work organization in farmsWorkshop 7 - Farming models and professional identitiesWorkshop 8 - Innovations and adaptation to changesSubmission guidelinesThe application form must be submitted before 27 January 2020to iswa2020call@gmail.comAs they are the only element used by the scientific committee for selecting and managing the papers, the abstracts must be informative (2 pages max.) about the challenges, the scientific questions treated in the studies, the methods and the results.&#160; They must be written in English.The scientific committee will direct the selected abstracts towards two possible communication formats:a long written paper (35.000 characters including spaces) with an oral presentation.an extended abstracts attached to a poster presentation (a maximum of 8.000 characters including spaces)Scientific CommitteeBOONABAANA&#160; Brenda&#160;Makerere University&#160; UgandaCHAUVAT Sophie Idele FranceCONTZEN&#160;Sandra&#160;School of Agricultural, Forest &#38; Food Sciences&#160;SwitzerlandCOURNUT&#160;Sylvie UMR Territoires FranceDEDIEU&#160;Benoit&#160;INRAE FranceDIAO CAMARA Astou&#160;ISRA&#160;SenegalDORIN Bruno&#160;CIRAD&#160;IndiaFORREST ZHANG&#160;Qian&#160;Singapore Management University&#160;SingaporeHOSTIOU Nathalie&#160;UMR Territoires&#160; FranceKINSELLA James&#160;University of Dublin&#160;IrelandKLERKX Laurens WUR&#160;NetherlandsLAURENT&#160;Catherine&#160;INRAE FranceLUNDQVIST&#160;Peter&#160;SLU Sweden&#160;MALANSKI&#160; Priscila&#160;State University of Maringa&#160;BrazilNEIMAN&#160; Guillermo&#160; Conicet&#160;ArgentinaNETTLE&#160;Ruth&#160; University of Melbourne AustraliaPIET&#160;Laurent&#160;INRAE&#160; FranceSANTHANAM-MARTIN&#160;Michael&#160;University of Melbourne&#160;AustraliaSCHIAVI&#160;Sandra&#160; State University of Maringa&#160;BrazilSRA&#207;RI&#160;Mohamed-Taher&#160; Institut Agronomique Hassan II&#160;MoroccoULBRICHT&#160;Leandra&#160; Federal Univ of Technology&#160; Parana&#160; BrazilUMSTATTER&#160;Christina&#160;Agroscope&#160; Switzerland
