Building a Sustainable Farmer Webinar Series

This fall, PEIFA Farm Safety put on a collection of health-related webinars encouraging sustainable practices for your farm’s most valuable asset; YOU!

PEI Federation of Agriculture YouTube Channel

The webinar series was created to address the current mental and physical health of farm workers in the province. A focus on mental health highlighted how to spot symptoms of stress or illness and provided coping mechanisms that could be easily adapted to routine life. Other important health concerns that could be work altering conditions were also highlighted so that everyone can work in a safe environment. The ultimate goal was to provide participants with new and alternative options for managing their health and that of their employees, so that they could remain productive, safe members of the farming community for years to come. You are your farms most valuable asset!
