Farmers experience a series of psychosocial challenges, such as uncertainty relating to weather conditions and financial viability, long working hours, isolation, concerns regarding succession and generational renewal. There are a growing number of demands, expectations and pressures on farmers. This seminar aims to inform policy-makers on the options available to improve farmer mental health and working conditions, thus exploring and discussing national and EU policy mechanisms which can contribute to improving the lives of EU farmers.
