“…Furthermore, the implementation of COHP requires coordination and cooperation to ensure its continuity. This finding is consistent with that of a previous study indicating that assisting with farm tasks as a method of health promotion effectively sustains the programme (Aizaki et al , 2016). The AFs need to communicate their problems through inter-sector and inter-programme between the agriculture department and primary healthcare centres in their areas.…”

PurposeOccupational health promotion programmes targeting the Indonesian agricultural farmers (AFs) are limited. This action research aimed to involve the AFs in the research and development of community-based occupational health promotion (COHP) programme, which is tailored to meet their perceived needs for preventing health problems related to occupational workplace.Design/methodology/approachThis study employed the qualitative action research approach. The participants (n = 136) were farmers from seven regions in the rural areas of East Java, Indonesia. The COHP was examined from public health centres (PHCs) in seven regions through eight steps, including recognition, analyses, planning, communication, preparation, implementation, evaluation and continuity of programme, for eight weeks. Data were collected through focus group interviews and examined using qualitative content analysis.FindingsThe findings revealed that the participants not only lacked health status but were also required to promote a comprehensive programme for occupational health and safety. The health problems of AFs were identified as the lack of nutrition and high blood pressure, which are related to un-ergonomic condition during work, limited use of personal protective equipment, high stress and workload. The lack of support for AF groups to prevent health problems and to access health services was a key theme for all the participants. Therefore, self-help group as social support was designed to solve the health problems among AFs.Originality/valueThe COHP, through action research, provided a change strategy for AFs to manage and promote occupational health and safety within their practice. The study findings could be used in the development of a framework for PHCs in delivering occupational health and safety practices in the agricultural sectors.

“…This relationship has been globally reported and is generally positive and consistent [8][9][10][11]. It has also enabled a deeper understanding of the characteristics and motivations of those engaged in FV gardening [20,[23][24][25]. Additionally, there are several reports on the association between FV receiving and FV intake [17][18][19].…”

In this study, we identified the factors that affect the frequency of receiving nonmarket fruit and vegetables (FV). For Survey 1, we conducted a cross-sectional survey using a self-administered questionnaire for men aged 50–74 living in city (A) in Gunma, Japan. Participants were asked questions on FV receiving frequency, FV gardening, social cohesion (4–20 points), and basic characteristics. For Survey 2, a similar survey was conducted for residents aged 20–74 in three areas in city (B) in Gunma, but we included more variables. Ordinal logistic regression models were used for the analysis. In Survey 1, the responses of 243 participants were analyzed. The results showed that the FV receiving frequency was positively associated with non-gardeners and social cohesion. In Survey 2, the responses of 791 participants were analyzed. Vegetable receiving frequency was positively associated with rural and suburban areas, family structure, employment status, and non-farmers. The relationship between receiving frequency and social cohesion was similar to that found in Survey 1. In conclusion, in areas with flourishing FV cultivation, it seems to be easy to obtain FV through the social networks of reception, even for individuals who are not cultivating FV themselves.

“…In this study, we clarified the factors affecting FV receiving frequency. In previous studies, the characteristics and motivation of those who are engaged in FV gardening [14,[21][22][23] have been reported. Furthermore, in the context of obtaining locally-grown produce, the motivation and characteristics were reported by including using farmers' markets [33][34][35][36].…”
