The essay analyses the changes to the agricultural labour market of the latest years. First of all, it addresses the exponential growth in the number of foreign workers - regular and irregular - employed in the sector, by identifying the main factors that have triggered these changes and the negative effects which have followed (in particular, irregular migration, labour exploitation, illicit brokering activities and gang-master system). Second, the legal tools available to tackle these phenomena and protect the migrant workers - regular and irregular - employed in the agricultural sector are assessed.

Keywords: Agricultural work; Migrant workers; Labour Exploitation; Illicit brokering activities; Gang-master system; Protection.
