Description
Daniel Mark Blake and co-authors published this study protocol in 2025. It lays out a planned investigation of how flooding and drought affect the mental health of farmers and farmworkers in England. These workers depend on the land, and extreme weather is growing more frequent and severe. Research from Australia exists, but England's farming community has barely been studied on this question.
The plan mixes two methods. A national online survey, sent through trusted farming organizations in early 2025, includes a standard well-being scale. A smaller group of respondents will then take part in in-depth interviews in late 2025 and early 2026. The team will analyze both strands for themes covering harm to livelihoods, coping habits, support networks, and what builds resilience. Findings are meant to guide national programs that protect farming mental health.
