Factors associated with health-risk perception of heat waves among agroecological and conventional farmers in the tropics

Given that Asian countries rely on agriculture for livelihoods, it is necessary to understand the background of both agroecological and conventional farmers’ perceptions of extreme temperature effects on health and assess the differences in their risk perceptions. By comparing both farming communiti...
