Project description
Social innovation for a better life on the farm
Globalisation has been increasing the economic, environmental and social pressures on the agricultural sector, making farmers' lives tougher. It has been shown that the farming community is not immune to mental health struggles or feelings of isolation. While the economic and environmental implications have been studied extensively, researchers are now turning their attention to the social implications affecting those who are active in the farming industry. The EU-funded FARMWELL project will make social innovation research and practices more accessible to both individual farmers and farming families, with the aim of boosting their wellbeing.
