The agricultural workforce is exposed to rapidly changing working conditions due to societal, economic, political, and ecological challenges. In the Swiss farming community, poor mental wellbeing is a growing concern and research focuses on the distribution and hazards of psychological distress in farmers and their social network. This perspective benefits from insights of the first agricultural cohort in Switzerland, illustrating the complex field that farmers operate in. Consequently, we call for a paradigm shift in research and policy from individual vulnerability to multi-layered social resilience toward building an agricultural workforce with the capacity to create pathways for a sustainable agriculture.
由于社会、经济、政治和生态挑战，农业劳动力面临着迅速变化的工作条件。在瑞士农业社区，心理健康状况不佳日益受到关注，研究重点在于农民及其社交网络中心理困扰的分布和危害。这一观点受益于瑞士首个农业队列研究的见解，展现了农民所处的复杂领域。因此，我们呼吁研究和政策从关注个体脆弱性转向关注多层次的社会复原力，以构建一支有能力为可持续农业创造路径的农业劳动力队伍。
