Abstract

Pacific Island workers contribute significantly to Australiaʼs agriculture and food security through the Seasonal Worker Programme (SWP). Previous studies show the economic benefits of the SWP to both Australian agro-industries and Pacific workers. However, there are limited studies about the agricultural knowledge exchange that occurs via the circular migration enabled by the SWP, and the experiences of workers and employers as agricultural knowledge holders. With the SWP merged into the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility Scheme, there is an opportunity to help define how circular migration is both an economic and agricultural development policy. In this paper, we present findings from interviews with 63 workers (from Solomon Islands, Tonga, and Vanuatu) about agricultural knowledge and skills acquired and exchanged via SWP participation. We provide a discussion of opportunities for knowledge exchange in international labour mobility, and areas of future research in circular migration.

通过澳大利亚-太平洋循环移民计划进行农业食品系统知识交流

太平洋岛屿工人通过季节性工人计划（SWP）为澳大利亚的农业和粮食安全做出了重大贡献。先前的研究表明，SWP对澳大利亚农产工业和太平洋工人都有经济效益。然而，关于通过SWP实现的循环移民进行的农业知识交流，以及工人和雇主作为农业知识持有者的经验，研究有限。随着SWP并入太平洋-澳大利亚劳动力流动计划，有机会帮助定义循环移民如何既是一项经济和农业发展政策。在本文中，我们介绍了对63名工人（来自所罗门群岛、汤加和瓦努阿图）的采访结果，这些工人通过SWP的参与获得和交流了农业知识和技能。我们讨论了国际劳动力流动中的知识交流机会，以及循环移民的未来研究领域。

期刊介绍： Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies is the flagship journal of the Crawford School of Public Policy at The Australian National University. It is a peer-reviewed journal that targets research in policy studies in Australia, Asia and the Pacific, across a discipline focus that includes economics, political science, governance, development and the environment. Specific themes of recent interest include health and education, aid, migration, inequality, poverty reduction, energy, climate and the environment, food policy, public administration, the role of the private sector in public policy, trade, foreign policy, natural resource management and development policy. Papers on a range of topics that speak to various disciplines, the region and policy makers are encouraged. The goal of the journal is to break down barriers across disciplines, and generate policy impact. Submissions will be reviewed on the basis of content, policy relevance and readability.
