This handbook offers practical guidance to strengthen collaboration between labour and agrifood actors to prevent and eliminate child labour in agriculture. It addresses a key implementation gap by positioning child labour in agriculture as both a labour and rural development issue and promoting coordinated, cross-sectoral action on its structural causes. The publication explains core concepts, provides a step-by-step diagnostic tool to integrate agriculture into national child labour frameworks, outlines roles and entry points for relevant actors, and showcases good practices from FAO and global partnerships.
