Outside the perimeter of the center, a huge informal settlement consisting of shacks made of wood, plastic, sheet metal and small brick buildings has formed over time.<\/p>\n<p>During the summer season, the settlement has about 3,500 inhabitants, mostly foreign farm laborers who come to Apulia to harvest tomatoes.

In this area, the agricultural economy is largely dependent on an &#8220;invisible&#8221; foreign labor force, which is often exposed to the phenomenon of &#8220;caporalato. Local organised crime exercises pervasive control over the territory, influencing access to basic necessities and transportation.<\/p>\n<p>Migrant people who work as farm laborers and factory workers in factories that package agricultural products are very often people who experience severe social exclusion, experience racial discrimination, and face barriers to accessing basic territorial services on a daily basis. In this context, even finding housing in urban centers becomes extremely complex. Therefore, over time, unformal and unregulated housing developments have developed in the vicinity of agricultural areas.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-lxmt&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;6&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;926323&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;right-t-left&#8221; animation_speed=&#8221;600&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;535414&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;503323&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #3e91d2;\"><b>THE NEEDS<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Borgo Mezzanone, housing conditions are extremely precarious: there is a lack of sewage, water and electrical systems and an adequate waste management system.
