Sharing of agricultural and
household work is an important aspect of this close
cooperation. Special care for pregnant women, elderly
farmers and those with disabilities also requires the
whole family’s cooperation. Further, joint group activities
with other households in the community are essential in
organizing many seasonal farming tasks. Joint investment
plans, regular meetings and recreational activities help
improve the safety, health and well-being of farmers in
the community. This chapter presents many practical
ideas to enhance family and community cooperation in
these various aspects of agricultural work life.
