Description:
|
Understanding the implications of health disparities that farmers face and how it influences their method of farming. Focus groups will be analyzed to get a better understanding of how environmental factors have an effect on stewardship. Psychological resistance arises towards farmers who switch to no-till practices due to the greater financial risk and the uncertainty of crop outcome which contributes to an increase in stressors
