Ag Discussion Paper #09: Agricultural Risk Management in the face of Climate Change
Author:
The report was prepared by a team led by Vikas Choudhary (Senior Economist, GFADR; Task Team Leader) and consisted of Tobias Baedeker (Agricultural Economist, GFADR), Aira Maria Htenas (Operations O ffi cer, GFADR), Jitendra P. Srivastava (Consultant, GFADR), and Alona Gutman (Consultant, GFADR). Climate change is becoming a source of significant additional risks for agriculture and food systems. Climate projections suggest that impacts will include shifting average growing conditions, increase climate and weather variability, and more uncertainty in predicting tomorrow’s climate and weather conditions. Agricultural risk management (ARM) is ideally placed to support stakeholders in building resilience to these increased risks in short and medium term.
