“…Firstly, accelerate the improvement of the system of multiple coordination mechanisms and real-time emergency plans to provide an all-round institutional guarantee to enhance regional agricultural multi-hazard risk reduction capabilities. Secondly, the government should increase its financial investment in agricultural water conservancy construction and subsidize the construction of small water conservancy projects on collective village farmland [40,41]. Thirdly, the government should increase its investment in agricultural insurance for natural disasters in Jiutai, Tongyu, and other places; moreover, it should increase its investment in rural social security, medical care, and minimum living security as well to improve disaster response capacity.…”

“…Firstly, in terms of the main body of disaster management, we should include social agricultural companies, agricultural volunteers, and grassroots organizations in the government to improve agricultural disaster mitigation capacity through these experts who are familiar with local agricultural disasters and land conditions so that they can become an important force in disaster mitigation [41,50]. Second, on the mechanism of disaster management, we should strengthen the unified dispatch and management of multi-hazard meteorological disaster risks (especially in several areas of the Nen Jiang and Heilongjiang River Basin), break the mechanism of independent management in each administrative region, realize the rational allocation of resources, and reduce disputes over the impact of disaster risks.…”

Multi-Hazard Meteorological Disaster Risk Assessment for Agriculture Based on Historical Disaster Data in Jilin Province, China

The impact of global climate change is gradually intensifying, and the frequent occurrence of meteorological disasters poses a serious challenge to crop production. Analyzing and evaluating agricultural multi-hazard meteorological disaster risks based on historical disaster data and a summary of disaster occurrences and development patterns are important bases for the effective reduction of natural disaster risks and the regulation of agricultural production. This paper explores the technical system of agricultural multi-hazard meteorological disaster risk assessment and establishes a disaster risk assessment model based on the historical disaster data at the regional level from 1978–2020 in the first national comprehensive natural disaster risk census, carrying out multi-hazard meteorological disaster risk assessments in 18 major grain-producing regions in Jilin province. The empirical evidence shows: (1) drought and flood disasters are the key disasters for agricultural meteorological disaster prevention in Jilin province. Hotspots of drought and flood disasters are widely distributed in the study area, while hail and typhoons are mainly concentrated in the eastern region with a certain regionality. (2) The risk values of the four major meteorological disasters all decreased with the increase of the disaster index. Under the same disaster index, the disaster risk of various disasters in the main grain-producing areas is as follows: drought > flood > typhoon > hail. Under different disaster indices, Jiutai, Nongan, Yitong, Tongyu, and other places all presented high and medium–high risk levels. (3) From the spatial evolution trend, along with the rising disaster index, the risk of multi-hazard meteorological hazards is spatially oriented in a southeastern direction, and the risk level of multi-hazard meteorological hazards in the central part of the study area decreases gradually along with the increasing damage index. In addition, regional agricultural multi-hazard meteorological disaster risk reduction recommendations are made in three aspects: institutional construction, management model, and reduction capacity.

“…Yet even with proper PPE use (itself rare), chemicals still pose a problem. Recent research challenges the very effi cacy of PPE in protecting workers from agrochemicals, pointing out the incredible complexity of matching chemicals to the proper PPE materials, proper use, cleaning, and removal (Garrigou et al 2020). In addition, and more to our point, there is substantive evidence (in Africa and beyond) that knowledge alone does not mitigate farmers' risk and that it does not necessarily change behavior (Andrade-Rivas and Rother 2015; Galt 2013; Lekei et al 2014;Muleme et al 2017;Shattuck 2021b).…”

“…Th is includes "carnal ethnographies" of the sweaty, painful, joyous experiences of bodies themselves (i.e., Little 2019;Luna 2019). Such an approach overlaps in some ways with important research done by ergonomists and ergotoxicologists (i.e., Garrigou et al 2020), yet also explores the aff ective dimensions of embodiment and how bodily practices, performances, and experiences are entwined with notions of status and identity (Flachs 2019;Mojola 2014).…”

Pesticides and toxicity are constitutive features of modernization in Africa, despite ongoing portrayals of the continent as “too poor to pollute.” This article examines social science scholarship on agricultural pesticide expansion in Sub-Saharan Africa. We recount the rise of agrochemical usage in colonial projects that placed African smallholder farmers at the forefront of toxic vulnerability. We then outline prevalent literature on “knowledge deficits” and unsafe farmer practices as approaches that can downplay deeper structures. Missing in this literature, we argue, are the embodied and sensory experiences of African farmers as they become pesticide users, even amid an awareness of toxicity. Drawing on ethnographic research in Mozambique and Burkina Faso, we explore how the “toxic sensorium” of using agrochemicals intersects with farmers’ projects of modern aspiration. Th is approach can help elucidate why and how differently situated farmers live with pesticides, thereby expanding existing literature on structural violence and knowledge gaps.

Cette contribution propose le développement d’une approche de « prévention construite » comme alternative aux modèles dominants de la sécurité à l’œuvre en milieu agricole. Ce travail s’appuie sur les cadres théoriques de la sécurité en psychologie et en ergonomie (sécurité industrielle, sécurité des patients et résilience), et notamment de la sécurité réglée et gérée, afin d’identifier des conditions du développement d’une prévention construite. Nous avons tenté d’éprouver ce modèle de la prévention construite à partir de l’analyse de situations d’exposition aux pesticides dans trois études de cas en agriculture. Les cas présentés portent sur les perspectives de contributions à la conception de pulvérisateurs viticoles (Albert, 2022), les ressources réelles de protection lors de réalisation de semis dans le cadre d’un projet en collaboration avec la MSA (Mutualité sociale agricole) (Fredj, 2021), ainsi que les limites posées dans l’usage de contenants de pesticides en France et au Québec (Goutille, 2022 ; Jolly, 2022). Il ressort que la prévention construite se traduit par le développement de pratiques individuelles et collectives allant dans le sens d’une préservation de la santé. Le processus s’appuie sur des méthodes participatives d’analyse puis de transformation et de conception de l’activité, qui nécessitent des actions sur des déterminants proches et éloignés de la situation de travail. L’enjeu de cette approche est de renforcer le développement de la prévention à partir d’une compréhension et construction fondée sur le travail humain. Nous proposons par la suite des items à prendre en compte pour un diagnostic et un développement de la prévention à partir de l’activité. Ce travail contribue à élaborer un modèle opérant de la sécurité.
