“…Health systems are different in each country. The differences in the treatment of occupational ailments distort occupational risk prevention systems (India, Australia, Finland, Italy, South Korea, USA, France, Canada and the Netherlands) [81,141,175,[184][185][186][187][188][189][190][191][192][193][194][195][196][197][198][199]. Preventive measures, the type of crop and the permissiveness of the authorities are factors that affect this distortion (USA and Europe) [95,147,200].…”

Agricultural workers suffer from many work-related illnesses. Some of the most common include musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). These types of disorders are caused by diverse factors. This research study intends to demonstrate the worldwide concern for MSD in agriculture. The objective is to compile and recognize in detail all the available studies on musculoskeletal disorders in agriculture developed in the world and by countries in the last 26 years. The Web of Science database was used for this purpose. Two hundred and fifty-six documents were found, of which 221 were finally selected for inclusion in the study. The studies span a period from 1995 to 2020. Of these, studies that were linked to improving sustainability stood out. Most of the research of this type emanates from developed countries. The conclusions to be drawn are that few countries pay attention to this area and that preventive measures are insufficient. Mechanization and improvement in work methods and organization are methods to reduce risks.

“…Innovations in technology show promise to help address challenges in reaching populations with little available time as well as overcoming language and literacy barriers [ 12 , 13 ]. Some efforts have focused on developing health care providers’ ability to identify and respond to the occupational stressors of agricultural workers in addition to training farmworkers [ 14 , 15 , 16 ]. New models of the process of influencing health behaviors attempt to account for the factors that contribute to risky behavior in an attempt to better understand these elements in conjunction with the impacts of educational programs [ 17 ].…”

Agriculture remains a highly dangerous industry for occupational health and safety. This study sought to understand the perspective of agricultural professionals with respect to the current state of the industry, challenges, and opportunities relevant to occupational health and safety. Additional questions related to the COVID-19 pandemic emerged in the findings as well. Eleven industry professionals were interviewed, and the transcripts were qualitatively analyzed for emergent themes following a constant comparative method. Three themes emerged in our findings: a description of the current state of occupational health and safety in the agricultural industry, barriers to improving occupational health and safety, and enablers of occupational health and safety. Each theme contained subthemes. The description of the industry encompassed regulations, inherent danger, and attitudes and education. Barriers included education, health care access, logistics, discrimination and cultural competency, economic considerations, and the labor contracting system. Enablers included education, regulations, and health care and prevention. These findings are consistent with existing literature, revealing interconnected and overlapping challenges and opportunities. Further research is recommended with a broader sample of participants, especially farmworkers.
