Beyond human health – Exploring farmers' perspectives on pesticides in Swiss agriculture
Farmers face numerous challenges and hazards that may affect health. Plant protection products (PPPs) are often investigated and criticized in terms of their effects on human and environmental health. However, research and public debates seldomly discuss farmers’ perspectives on plant protection-related health risks. Using qualitative methods, including semi-structured interviews with 28 farmers, ethnographic observations, and one 3-day farm visi…
A call for research and policy into building multi-layered social resilience toward a sustainable agricultural workforce in Switzerland
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 fie…
A typology of interdisciplinary collaborations
To understand complex societal transformations, scholars have called for more interdisciplinary research in which researchers from various disciplines collaborate. To support the implementation of such collaborations, we introduce a novel typology of interdisciplinary collaborations developed from the literature and from structured reflection on our own research experience. The typology distinguishes (I) common base, (II) common destination, and …
Barriers to evidence use for sustainability
Calls for supporting sustainability through more and better research rest on an incomplete understanding of scientific evidence use. We argue that a variety of barriers to a transformative impact of evidence arises from diverse actor motivations within different stages of evidence use. We abductively specify this variety in policy and practice arenas for three actor motivations (truth-seeking, sense-making, and utility-maximizing) and five stages…
The influence of socio-economic status on risk prioritisation
This study examined the influence of socioeconomic status (SES) on risk prioritisation. Participants ranked 28 hazards according to how risky they considered them to be for the South African society. The results showed SES had an influence on hazard prioritisation, e.g., alcohol was considered the most significant societal hazard by low SES individuals, but was ranked 10th by high SES individuals. High SES individuals on the other hand, were sign…
