We have chosen to explore the concept of agriculture—the action of tilling the soil to grow fruits and vegetables in technical, ecological, symbolic, economic and political dimensions—from the standpoint of our fieldwork experience in the FOOD2GATHER research, since we see it embedded in the concept of foodscape. As we endeavoured to examine food in its widest acceptation from fork to fork, and its role in migration, we were literally led to the fields of food production by our informants. Indeed, a large part of the French agricultural economy is based on the work of foreign farm labour. In the area that we investigated, the grapes they produce are a strong marker of French ethnicity: the Bordeaux wines. We observed how racism in agriculture underlies the structure of the neoliberal economy and, since the Covid-19 pandemic made it particularly visible, how migrants are treated as sub-citizens. Yet at the same time, despite structural and colonial racism, some of them, long-established in the rural regional landscape, even seasonal temporary workers, have made their home out of hard work, while still others choose to engage in sustainable agriculture in their gardens. This aspect of the FOOD2GATHER project reflects the history of intensive agriculture and productivity in relation to post-colonialism.
