Physical health in farming

Physical health is incredibly important for the UK’s farm workers, and conditions such as back or joint pain, asthma or diabetes can cause significant challenges during the working day.

Our campaign will shine a spotlight on how we can make farming a more inviting space for those with chronic conditions, boosting farm performance in the process.

Through a series of features and guides in Farmers Weekly and on FWi, we will offer practical support to farm business owners who may recruit or be seeking to retain staff with physical health conditions.
