Somehow Western European countries manage to have domestic workers grow their food at decent wages, even if it means higher food prices. Why can’t we?


> domestic workers

That's a bit of a stretch. Finnish agriculture (which is rather small) has not been able to live without Ukrainian and Vietnamese workers for several years. But there are legal frameworks to get them the required permits. It's not free of problems, all kind of exploitation happens. But then the rules will be tightened again.

I think it's the same over most of Western Europe, with domestic workers alone farming could stop.
