Farmers' health and safety are critical public health problems that have historically been ignored in the United States and in many countries by health policy developers. The challenges to reduce the hazards are significant. However, by mobilizing the resources, the public will, and the structure to carry out preventive programs, progress is possible. Sweden has shown that research, education, engineering, and regulation have resulted in significant reductions of tractor rollover deaths, chainsaw injuries, and hearing loss.
农民的健康与安全是至关重要的公共卫生问题，然而在美国以及许多国家，这些问题在历史上一直被卫生政策制定者所忽视。减少这些危害面临着重大挑战。不过，通过调动资源、公众意愿以及实施预防项目的架构，取得进展是有可能的。瑞典已经表明，研究、教育、工程和监管已使拖拉机翻车死亡事故、链锯伤害以及听力损失大幅减少。
