One quarter of the global labour force works in agriculture, and they know it’s a stressful business. As agriculture becomes increasingly unpredictable, it’s essential to support the mental well-being of our farmers.

In this episode, we examine the psychological pressures facing farmers, from climate-related stress to market instability. We also highlight community-based solutions from StrongMinds in Uganda and Compañeros en Salud in Mexico, and speak with Dr. Britt Wray about the broader mental health impacts of the climate crisis.
