Syngenta is committed to raising awareness of risks and hazards associated with agricultural work, as well as sharing knowledge so these can be managed more effectively and accidents can be prevented. Each year, we train as many farmers as possible through our partnerships with local organizations and product retailers. This includes farm workers, farm owners, smallholders1, product distributors, employees, and other people exposed to crop protection products.

The Safe Use 2017 dataset shows the number of people who received training on the safe use of crop protection products from Syngenta between October 2013 and September 2017. The dataset is aggregated by country and includes the total number of people and smallholders trained, which is a subset of the total number of people trained. Numbers of countries with less than 1000 people trained are grouped under Other Countries.
