Sustainable farm families : future directions

Abstract

The health and wellbeing of all Australians is pivotal for economic and social success of the nation. Current data reveals that the health status of people living in rural and remote populations is poorer than their metropolitan counterparts. However there is a lack of understanding of the specific health statistics of rural farming populations.The Sustainable Farm Families (SFF) Future Directions program aims to fill this gap by providing ongoing evidence-based information and support to Australia&rsquo;s agricultural industries, to gain insight into the health, wellbeing and safety of Australia&rsquo;s rural farming populations.<br /
