Over these past 25 years, there have been many accomplishments in child agricultural safety. Data showed a 60% decline in non-fatal childhood agricultural injuries from 2001 to 2014. Read more in this commentary from Barb Lee and Marsha Salzwedel: https://t.co/6eUbNwPwsT

Natural Disasters don't affect everyone equally & vary depending on individuals' characteristics, work, ethnicity, residence, language, etc. This paper examines the impact on children of ag workers in Puerto Rico during and after public health emergencies. https://t.co/CUN8tGzX6p

"Given the ever-evolving field of production ag and limited availability of national ag injury surveillance data, an updated review is presumably welcomed, even necessary, for ag safety and health stakeholders in academia, government, & industry" https://t.co/CkdcJzAJWd

In this article, we find a key tension between an awareness of the challenges of raising children on farms among farm service providers & farm organizations. Yet, there is hardly any coverage of childcare in farm programming. @Florence_Becot et. al. https://t.co/FZ0xr0YX3W

"In short, we firmly believe that sufficient disaggregation of age-based data enables more effective interventions and supports policies and strategies to address challenges in adolescent farm injury." Read more: https://t.co/ceEenqD4kX

Recent regional surveillance shows farm residency remains hazardous for adolescents, as injury rates were three times higher in the in-farm group. All-terrain vehicle injuries were high for all youth and should be a priority in rural safety interventions. https://t.co/EuPlB6IHSg

This paper describes how the international Gear Up for Ag Health and Safety™ program, originally developed in North America, was further developed for a younger Australian audience enrolled in agricultural programs at secondary or vocational schools. https://t.co/RMpmjfLeM4

Little is known about the legal repercussions for adults when ag incidents occur to children. Despite the frequency of childhood ag injuries/fatalities, responsible adults are rarely held accountable when a child is allowed in a dangerous setting. https://t.co/5lFkj8Ztql

Media images of children in risky situations in the field are often shown as charming or normal. In turn, the sensationalism of publishing news about a fatal case in the field is accompanied by varied details but without preventive recommendations. https://t.co/PjLa9WnwJg

Great commentary here about families in Nigeria using pesticides. They use the containers to store food afterward, don't use PPE, and teach their children unsafe practices. The author, Gift, and Norina Farms are preparing and delivering trainings. https://t.co/ESSvyScE6X
