Drought, coping mechanisms and poverty: Insights from rainfed rice farming in Asia
An understanding of the socio-economic impact of drought and of farmers’ coping mechanisms is essential in designing technological and policy interventions for more effective drought mitigation and relief. Nevertheless, knowledge of drought is very limited in terms of its characteristics, its impact on farmer livelihoods, farmers’ coping strategies and the welfare implications in subhumid regions of Asia.

Global Grain import dependency in the MENA region: risk management options
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region is the largest grain importing region in the world. Severe constraints on arable land and water, coupled with a growing population and rising incomes, make the region inherently dependent on imports to meet rising demand for food, particularly cereals.

Efficiency Costs of Subsidy Rules for Crop Insurance
Participation in federal crop insurance programs has been encouraged through premium subsidies. The current subsidy depends on contract features as well as coverage levels. This type of subsidy rule causes farmers to choose contract designs and coverages that are not efficient for managing risk, in order to capture subsidy. Farmers are found to be as well off with a flat subsidy that is up to 25% less than the value of the current regressive proportional subsidy.
