Farm Relief Workers
Farm Relief Workers is a new documentary series that follows the lives of four Finnish farm Farm relief workers over a three-month period.
The series follows the everyday life of the farm relief worker in a changing agricultural economy and the key role they play in supporting farmers. They enable farm workers to take a break and a respite from work, looking after the animals and the tasks of the farm. The series also gives an insight into how farm relief workers relax and enjoy their free time while taking time out from their challenging work.
The series covers topics such as rural transition, the well-being of farmers and farm relief workers, and the impact of climate change on agriculture. In addition to the shortage of farm relief workers, the series raises concerns about the future of agriculture and animal welfare. Farmers also talk about their daily lives and the importance of farm relief workers.
