FARMERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO START LIVING WELL TO FARM WELL

摘要

Two major north Queensland banana farms have signed up to participate in a new workplace health pilot. Live Well Farm Well, a partnership between Diabetes Queensland, Growcom and the Queensland Government, is focussing on practical ways farm workers can reduce their risk of chronic disease like type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Two of the farms involved in the pilot are Liverpool River Bananas and LMB Farming. Diabetes Queensland Chief Executive Officer Michelle Trute said the pilot project was an important step in improving the health of farm workers.
