Researchers from U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Report on Findings in Risk Management (Integrating Prevention Into the Risk Management Policy Toolkit: a Strategy for Improving Resilience To Extreme Events): Risk Management

2022 JUL 25 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Daily News -- Current study results on Risk Management have been published. According to news reporting originating from Kansas City, Missouri, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “The incidence of extreme natural hazard events in the U.S. has been rising, with far-reaching implications for the U.S. agricultural sector.”

Financial support for this research came from United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), “Yet, government expenditures on natural hazards in agriculture remain largely concentrated on recovery programs that compensate producers for damages after the fact. This article presents a risk management approach that incorporates a focus on prevention and mitigation which could offer greater cost-effectiveness and help to build a more resilient agricultural sector.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “In this context, we explore the U.S. agricultural risk management policy landscape and identify some possibilities for how such an approach could be integrated into current programming.”

This research has been peer-reviewed.
