Human flourishing in the context of farm characteristics and occupational hazards – Baseline findings from the FarmCoSwiss cohort
Our findings suggest a potentially lower overall flourishing among farmers as compared to a sample from the general population, with small farm size and exposure to psychosocial hazards being of particular concern, but organic farming having potential benefits. The study underscores the need for longitudinal research of farmers' wellbeing to maintain a thriving agricultural workforce.
