Thinking about the future of farming systems requires connecting multiple facets of changes in work in agriculture. The first International Symposium on Work in Agriculture was held in 2016 to discuss a variety of themes, from employment and health to gender and work organization. Textual analysis of the symposium’s proceedings was performed, identifying four research domains: the influences of 1) demographic and rural dynamics and changes on family involvement, 2) technical aspects of work on farm and work organization, 3) changes on work and new skills of agricultural advisors and 4) socio-technical changes on work in agriculture and agricultural models. Among these main domains, agroecological transition emerged as a key entry to study overall changes in farming and food systems. These elements will help to consolidate a vision of current hotspots of changes in work in agriculture and of major figures in research communities.
