Today the sun is shining here in Italy but there is no time to pause and enjoy it Salad and spinach picked from other fields must be washed alongside the cabbages and cauliflowers; boxes for delivery have to be readied and loaded into the van Ismail Lorenzo and Cheikh bring freshly picked vegetables from the fieldTen years on the members of Barikama find themselves on the frontline of Italy’s deadly battle against Covid-19 while the people in their community are in lockdown in their homes Ismail and his colleagues are out in the field and in the warehouse packing delivery boxes of vegetables and dairy products to help feed increasing numbers of local households “The demand is higher than ever because people can’t go out we’re working twice as hard as we’ve ever done,” says Modibo a 32-year-old from Mali who arrived in Lampedusa in 2008 and is one of the co-founders of the Barikama co-operative “Every day all day is just farming and deliveries Every day we’re getting new orders and we won’t stop working because people need us to feel useful to people in this awful moment For Modibo and all the members of the co-operative this job is also a form of redemption from exploitation: “barikama” means “strength” or “resistance”in the Malian language Bambara Modibo has breakfast in a bar near the co-operative’s warehouse in Pigneto RomeThe co-operative has its warehouse in Pigneto a historic working-class neighbourhood of Rome At seven in the morning the sky begins to lighten “Something has changed in our life,” says Modibo you can’t afford to heal yourself

four years ago from Nigeria and shortly after began labouring in the tomato fields of Foggia alongside hundreds of other migrants and refugees “In Foggia they gave €4 for each 350kg box filled Cheikh came to Italy from Senegal in 2007Another co-operative member was a football player in Senegal and studied biology at university When he arrived in Italy in 2007 he worked in the fields to survive “I looked around at the situation and always did the maths,” he says “In Rosarno there were between 200 and 300 people working without contracts for over a month How did they escape paying taxes on all that money they were making?” Aboubakar plants salad in a field on the shores of Lake MartignanoThe idea for the co-operative came from a friend at a social centre that the men attended after the 2010 Rosarno uprisings She suggested that they come together and start producing their own food “At the beginning we were making our own yogurt and we managed to make only about €5 or €10 each which at least allowed us to call home,” says Chiekh In 2014 they formed a co-operative and found a place to base themselves They made agreements with the farm owners to start dairy farming to rent the machinery to start producing yogurt and then to farm the property’s unused fields Barikama cultivates six hectares of orchards and produces up to 200 litres of yogurt a week Modibo and Antonio on the

everyone €700 in the last months of the year,” he says with a smile they feel that they are performing a vital task in keeping their customers healthy in a time of extreme trauma and fear “It’s a
