Assessing the Influence of Agricultural Injuries on the Welfare of Cocoa Farming Households in Ghana
The research points out that, as much as routine training is necessary, tool design, the implementation of work-rest patterns, and task change should be enhanced to reduce fatigue. Frequent utilization of personal safety gear is encouraged. The findings are significant in terms of policy and practice implications to minimize farm injuries, improve household welfare, and protect the contribution of cocoa farmers to the world food production.
