Decent work in agriculture: What is involved?

Where does the concept of decent work come from?
The campaign for decent work was first launched by the International Labour Organisation in 1999. According to the ILO:
Decent work sums up the aspirations of people in their working lives. It involves opportunities for work that is productive and delivers a fair income, security in the workplace and social protection for families, better prospects for personal development and social integration, freedom for people to express their concerns, organize and participate in the decisions that affect their lives and equality of opportunity and treatment for all women and men.
(ILO, 2017)
