Tóm tắt :

Tobacco farming and handling cause serious health and environmental problems. Owing to constant exposure in working with tobacco, farmers and workers face health-related issues of toxicity, of which green tobacco sickness is the best known. In addition, workers face the adverse consequences of the use of excessive harmful chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Although several economically sustainable alternatives to tobacco growing have been identified through studies in various regions of the world, research and pilot projects in the area of alternative livelihoods for tobacco farmers and workers have been limited in the South-East Asia Region. An expert group consultation was held at the WHO Regional Office for South-East Asia in New Delhi on 30-31 July 2015 to bring best practices and scientific evidence in alternative livelihoods for tobacco farmers and workers on one platform. The meeting was attended by experts in various fields from Bangladesh, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Kenya, the Philippines, Thailand and Uganda. The meeting adopted strong recommendations, including identification of research gaps and prioritized research, development of a regional strategic framework with a specific roadmap on alternative livelihoods for tobacco farmers and workers, and a roll-out plan to move forward with regional initiatives.
