description Children are commonly and often fatally injured in agricultural settings that include family farms, constituting fully half of all working youth fatalities in the United States. Yet certain aspects of farm life that expose children to harm are also linked to positive health outcomes, a phenomenon that this essay terms “the farm kid paradox.” It reviews applied anthropological research on the differential intertwining of health and hazard, and reflects on the role of the anthropologist as a broker of facts and concepts between diverse stakeholders and farm environments.
