Abstract
Farmers, particularly those working on small farms, face soil antibiotic exposure risk, which is compounded by low income. Creating larger farms can reduce the exposure risks, but it might also limit employment opportunities for farmers. A global analysis suggests that establishing optimally sized farms in priority areas can help to balance exposure risks and farmer livelihoods.
