Farmers with disabilities can work safely and efficiently
if adequate support is provided to meet their needs.
The needs of farmers with disabilities vary from
individual to individual. Some needs can be met by
making the equipment and tasks more user-friendly, but
there are other individual needs that can be addressed
by paying close attention to their limitations.
The best way to meet these needs is to observe
carefully the working conditions and tasks of farmers
with disabilities. Organizing group discussions on
improvement of the workplace, and adapting the
working tasks to accommodate their disabilities, will
increase their safety and productivity.
