What’s top of your agenda?
‘Farming’ and ‘risk’ have always been synonymous, with many primary producers being exposed to a variety of risk factors ranging from weather variability, pests and disease, and natural disasters such as floods, drought and fires. With the COVID pandemic, a new challenge of disrupted supply chains has emerged, as well as shocks to the domestic and international market.
These risks directly affect the economic returns from agriculture, the livelihood of farmers and in the long run, the capacity of farmers to invest and innovate. Traditionally, farmers have assessed and managed risk with an informal or ‘gut-feel’ approach.
Has the time come, however, to embrace a more formal risk appraisal and risk management processes, including integrated risk management?
We invite you to take part in this discussion and let us know, “What’s top of your agenda?”.
