By Marion Nestle November 06 2026 Weekend reading: Report from IPES Food: Food Work IPES Food (International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems) has a new report, well worth reading. The report’s key messages: Food systems employ nearly 1.4 billion people — two out of every five workers – making food the largest employer and most abusive sector on the planet. Exploitation does not happen by accident: it is a structural feature of how food systems are currently organized. Migrant workers are essential to today’s food systems, yet face some of the highest rates of workplace abuse, wage theft, forced labour, injury, and death. Compounding these structural abuses, a dangerous convergence of emerging forces is making food work increasingly hazardous and exploitative. Harms are not evenly distributed across the food workforce. Women, racialized workers, and migrants disproportionately occupy the lowest paid, most dangerous, and least protected jobs. Achieving lasting transformation depends on shifting both policy and power across five key priorities: Build worker power Secure decent work Guarantee equal rights for migrant workers Rein in corporate power Value food work Achieving this requires changing who holds power, who profits, and who bears the costs. As is typical of IPES reports, this one has useful graphics.
