SafeHabitus objectives:

  1. Establish a multi-actor network of EU farmers and farm workers, farming organisations, farm advisors, policy stakeholders, researchers, and other relevant actors, driven by 10 national/regional Communities of Practice (COPs) representing a variety of countries and sectors and focused on co-creating knowledge and solutions that improve farmers’ and farm workers’ health, safety and quality of life.
  1. Improve the understanding and awareness by policy makers, farmers organisations, trade unions and health authorities of farmers’ and farm workers’ health and safety at work.
  1. Identify the implications of farmers’ and farm workers’ perceptions of their work on the future of the sector and hence on long-term food security.
  1. Explore the potential of corporate social responsibility initiatives and bottom up innovations that enhance farmer and farm worker health and safety.
  1. Develop recommendations for better performing European and national policy, and governance frameworks favouring safer and more inclusive working environments for farmers and farm workers.
