Background:
Farmers who live with a disability face multiple challenges that impact their ability to continue farming. The purpose of this article was to review the literature concerning the impact of a disability on farmers' work and life.
Method:
Six electronic databases were searched for articles published in English, from 1992 to 2009.
Results:
Farmers experience disability caused by injury or illness, which may be physical, cognitive, or affective in nature. The review yielded limited information on the physical and social/emotional impact faced by farmers with disabilities.
Conclusion:
Further intervention research is needed, especially concerning strategies that help disabled farmers to continue farming.
