Speaker: Chingchai METHAPHAT, PhD, MPH
Department of Health Education, Faculty of Public Health
Burapha University, Thailand
Time: 12:30 p.m., Friday, 1 March 2013
Venue: Room 401 Humanities Building, New Asia College, CUHK
*************************************************************************
Based on an ethnographic fieldwork in a Thai fruit production community, I explore risks in the everyday life among fruit farmers. Instead of viewing farmers’ behaviors as evidencing ignorance of chemical risks or demonstrating non-compliance to the advice given by health professionals on chemical protection, I argue that the use of chemical pesticides among fruit farmers is shaped and informed by both local understandings and beliefs about how to minimize health risks of chemicals, and by their sense of how best to reduce their economic risks.
