Cultivating Security: Comparative Analysis of Agricultural Labor Standards in Argentina and Colombia

Introduction: The main objective is to carry out a bibliographic review. Where we seek to know aspects related to issues that influence the protection of collaborators Argentina and Colombia are two Latin American countries with economies strongly dependent on the agricultural sector, although each faces unique challenges related to sustainability, productivity and safety in agricultural work. In Argentina, agriculture has historically been a fundamental pillar, with production of wheat. However, the country faces challenges in terms of land concentration, sustainability, and job security in the agricultural sector. Argentine rural workers are exposed to what may compromise the safety of workers, agrochemicals and extreme weather conditions. This has generated the need to implement rigorous agricultural safety protocols. On the other hand, Colombia, with its rich agricultural diversity, stands out in wheat production. Despite its success in the international market, the country faces problems of inequality in access to land and challenges related to violence in rural areas. context of the safety of Colombian agricultural workers are also exposed to risks from the use of agrochemicals, extreme agricultural working conditions. Despite legislative progress, effective implementation remains a challenge, especially in areas where ensuring employees understand their rights is prevalent. Both countries, although different in their agricultural contexts and structures, share the challenge of protecting the safety and well-being of employees. Policies must be adapted to better protect agricultural workers, promoting Improving working conditions involves ensuring adequate equipment, continuous training and an environment free of health risks, and addressing the challenges of sustainability and climate change. Argentina and Colombia have great potential in their agricultural sectors, but they need to adopt a comprehensive approach that combines technological innovation, the development of effective public policies and the strengthening of labor security, in order to achieve a more inclusive, sustainable and resilient. Methodology: For this research analysis, a bibliographic and documentary review approach is constructed, identifying the main differences between Argentina and Colombia in relation to the agricultural economy. This approach allows us to examine the policies, regulations and working conditions in both countries, with a specific focus on agricultural workers. Results: It was concluded that both Argentina and Colombia have current legal regulations to prevent accidents and protect the well-being of agricultural employees, promoting safe work environments for workers in the sector. Both nations have established regulatory frameworks that seek to guarantee and promote a safe and healthy work environment from the use of agrochemicals, heavy machinery and the extreme conditions of the agricultural environment.
