About Time to Join Forces within Agricultural Health & Safety!? EDITORIAL by authors from 6 continents: Peter Lundqvist, Richard Franklin, John Shutske, Kyungsuk Lee, Marcos Grigioni & Ayman Ekram Fahim (2021) About Time to Join Forces within Agricultural Health & Safety!?, Journal of Agromedicine, 26:2, 284- 287, DOI: 10.1080/1059924X.2021.1893879
We challenge you We challenge you the leaders of all organizations and networks with a focus on agricultural health and safety in agriculture We invite you and others to actively engage in discussions with the first goal to increase your collaboration with the aim to get a greater impact on health and safety for agriculture globally!
Sacurima future network ..on our ownor? What is our needs? Networking? New projects? Exchange activities? Up-dates? Meetings live & on-line? A network of our own or create something new open for others? Formal/Informal ? Social media? A web-page? Administration ? How to pay for this? Link to any of our existing organizations within Sacurima? Establish a small focused well-motivated taskforce to fulfill the work of Sacurima? The goal (in my opinion) should be to maximize our ability to influence the improvement of working conditions in European & global agriculture?! A new European organization for Agricultural Safety and Health? or an (independent) European Chapter of a global organization, such as ISASH or business as usual?
