There are many unmet health needs in the farming community, needs that are peculiar to the agriculture industry. Health research and regulations to protect the safety of the farmer have lagged far behind those for other sectors of our economy. At a time when health needs are increasing, there is a decreasing availability of hospitals, physicians, nurses, and other health care personnel. The ability of the rural section to pay for these services is also declining. The evidence calls for a multifaceted solution, with improved cooperation and understanding on the part of the consumer as well as the provider. The regional health network is one system that may help solve some of these dilemmas.
农业社区存在许多未得到满足的健康需求，这些需求是农业产业所特有的。保护农民安全的健康研究和法规远远落后于我国经济其他部门。在健康需求不断增加的同时，医院、医生、护士和其他医护人员的可获得性却在下降。农村地区支付这些服务费用的能力也在下降。有证据表明需要采取多方面的解决办法，消费者和提供者都需要加强合作与理解。区域健康网络是一个可能有助于解决其中一些难题的系统。
