Abstract:
This research study aims to assess the role of agricultural insurance in managing production risks and enhancing farmers’ resilience to climate variability. Climate variability poses significant challenges to agricultural production, leading to yield fluctuations, income instability, and increased vulnerability for farmers. Agricultural insurance has emerged as a potential risk management tool to protect farmers against … and enhancing farmers’ resilience to climate variability. By analyzing the role of agricultural insurance, this study aims to provide insights for policymakers, insurance providers, and stakeholders in designing effective insurance programs to support farmers’ adaptation to climate change.
