GRASS CEILING is proud to announce that Asti Agricoltura has been selected as the recipient of the Parental Leave Champions (PARCA) Award, following an independent evaluation process carried out by Copa-Cogeca, the umbrella organisation representing European farmers and agri-cooperatives.
Asti Agricoltura has demonstrated exceptional commitment to supporting agricultural workers and self-employed farmers in understanding and accessing their parental leave rights. By offering clear guidance, personalised support and proactive communication, they have ensured that rural parents—from employees to self-employed agricultural entrepreneurs—receive accurate information and are better positioned to claim the benefits available to them.
Their work significantly contributes to gender equality, social inclusion and improved wellbeing for farming families across the region. The PARCA Award recognises organisations that deliver meaningful, positive change in rural communities, and Asti Agricoltura stands out as a model of excellent practice.
GRASS CEILING warmly congratulates Asti Agricoltura and thanks Copa-Cogeca for leading the selection process with independence and expertise. Together, we continue advancing a more inclusive and equitable future for Europe’s agricultural sector.
