The RABI Big Farming Survey

The farming community are facing increasingly complex and wide-ranging challenges that can often have a negative impact on their health and wellbeing. The full extent of how these pressures are affecting farmers is not yet entirely known or defined.

In response, the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institute (RABI) has commissioned a research project in collaboration with the University of Exeter. This aims to deliver valuable insight into the challenges that a generation of farming people face. It will help to improve our understanding of how farming today is impacting physical and mental wellbeing, in addition to the health of farm businesses.

Seeking to gather at least 26,000 responses, this will be the largest survey of its kind ever undertaken. It’s an ambitious target that requires your support if it is going to succeed.

The survey is open until 31st March 2021.
