    (Elsevier Inc, 2024) Zacharia Abdulsudi Issa; Matondo Joachim Dotto
    Employing over a third of the global workforce, agriculture remains a pivotal yet inherently risky sector. In many regions, family farms expose individuals, including children, to diverse hazards. The physical nature of the work poses musculoskel- etal and noise-induced hearing risks, while chemical agents like pesticides and toxins pose potentially even greater dangers. Recognizing these evolving threats, this chapter outlines pertinent challenges and explores evidence-based approaches to safeguard agricultural communities, paving the way for a safer and more sustainable future.
