Abstract

Framing is a hazardous, stressful occupation that can directly affect farmers' health. In accumulation, a farmer makes a large economic commitment exposing them to high levels of economic risk. Stressors among farmers may help health professionals improve health outcomes by developing targeted intervention strategies and services. Throughout the last 70 years, the agricultural sectors have changed, and it is found to be one of the latent areas for stress. On large uses of mechanization technology, more uses of organic production, there is a decrease in price of agricultural product, and new complex legislation has made the life of farmers more stressful. In this study, based on in-depth review of literature and analysis of works based on the mental work pressure and stresses over framers, the risk associated with the Indian agricultural sectors were recognized by the use of fuzzy TOPSIS method. All the identified risk-factors were ranked based on their preferences. Then, the QFD technique was used to suggest the design parameters so as to minimize the work stress on farmers.
