RE: Farmer Health and Pesticides

Dear all,

Another good example of a study that successfully was able to relate farmer health problems with pesticide use and tried to estimate the economic impact of these health problems is a paper by Pingali, Marquez and Palis entitled "Pesticides and Philippine rice farmer health: A medical and economic analysis." It was published in 1994 in the American Journal of Agricultural Economics 76(3): 587-592.

I hope this is helpful.

Mike
