This guide is intended to help extension workers better understand the concept of risk, the situation where risk occurs and management strategies that can be used to reduce, or at least soften, its effect. It is hoped that the guide will be useful in assisting extension workers to provide farmers with advice on the kind of risk management strategies that they can employ to deal with risk in their day-to-day operations. In this way extension workers can help farmers recognize and understand the risks that they are likely to face and assist them in making better farm management decisions that reduce the negative effect of the risks encountered in farming.

"Agriculture is a profession of hope", someone said. Man has landed on moon and has sent unmanned spacecrafts to Mars and Venus and transforming lives by fascinating technological innovations, yet he cannot shower rains at will, cannot prevent droughts or floods or even predict them with certainty. Risk and uncertainty are considered ubiquitous and varied in agriculture resulting from a range of factors including the vagaries of weather, the unpredictable nature of biological processes, the pronounced seasonality of production and market cycles etc. Weather forecasts are probabilities and projections based on improved technologies but not reachable to many small and marginal farmers. But still vast majority of the people in the country continue in farming with a hope that they would get better production and better prices. Agriculture continues to play a major role, in spite of declining share in India's overall economy. Even today, as we entered the new millennium, the situation is still the same, with almost the entire economy being sustained by agriculture, which is the mainstay of the villages. Although agriculture contributes less than 15% of India's GDP, its importance in the country's' economic, social and political fabric goes well beyond this indicator. The rural areas are still home to 75 percent of the India's 1.2 billion people, a large number of whom are poor. Most of the rural poor depend on rain-fed agriculture and fragile forests for their livelihoods. Agricultural risk is associated with negative outcomes that stem from imperfectly predictable climatic and price variables. Weather and climate are major risks and uncertainty factors impacting agriculture production. Market risk is due accessibility of inputs, uncertainty of prices in buying inputs, selling farm output, dairy and livestock products etc. Risk management is very critical to the success of agriculture, and yet there is a lack of tools used to manage risk as well as a lack of understanding of the tools themselves. Though, risk is an integral part of agriculture and farmers make risky decisions every day and confront different types of risk, changes in the risk environment and available tools to manage the risk make it a compelling reason to engage in risk management education. This volume is outcome of selected papers presented at the National Seminar on "Agricultural Risk Management" organized during 3-4 January 2014 by Centre for Good Governance (CGG) in association with National Institute of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj (NIRD&PR) The purpose of this comprehensive edited book of selected articles is to contribute to improved agricultural decision making by explaining what can be done in risk analysis and management. It should prove useful not only to practitioners and scientists involved in agriculture, water and land use, environmental management but also to policy makers in formulating appropriate strategies in agricultural risk management in India and elsewhere. Further, we hope that this volume will contribute to productive policy change to formulate sustainable risk mitigation strategies in agriculture leading to increased farm income

Agricultural Risk Management provides a guide to the many facets of risk and risk management that are instrumental in understanding today's agricultural sector and agricultural policy choices. Part I explores what is known about the risks common to agricultural firms and how producers respond to them. The risk management tools available to agricultural producers, the aspects of those tools that influence their selection by producers and the effects of risk management strategies on the farm firm are examined in Part 2. Part 3 considers the effects of government policies on producers' risks and selection of risk management strategies. The possibility of substituting privately sponsored risk management programs for those currently provided by the government is also investigated.

Vulnerability to poverty in Malawi is highly associated with risk. Rural households face multiple shocks, most of which threaten their livelihoods and impact negatively on their welfare. This study investigates three inherently interconnected issues: vulnerability to poverty; risk management strategies; and consumption smoothing. The central research issue is on understanding the role of risk in household vulnerability and poverty. Using a two-period panel dataset of 259 households in rural Malawi, the study addresses three objectives: First, to identify the determinants of vulnerability in rural Malawi. Second, to analyze households’ coping mechanisms for different shocks and identify the determinants of these mechanisms. Third, to test for the existence of household consumption smoothing as an insurance mechanism against idiosyncratic shocks. The panel dataset used in the study was derived from the 2004 second Malawi Integrated Household Survey (IHS2) from which 259 households were sampled and followed up in 2006 with a similar questionnaire. Vulnerability was modelled as expected poverty using Christiaensen and Subbarao (2004) methodology to investigate the extent to which rural households in Malawi are vulnerable to poverty. The results show that in 2004 the sampled households had an average chance of 44 percent of falling into poverty in 2006 and around 21 percent of the non-poor in 2004 were vulnerable to poverty in 2006. Further, female-headed households appear to be more vulnerable than their male counterparts. Education, land holdings and running a non-farm income generating activity in the household reduce household vulnerability. Community infrastructures such as health clinics and access to markets have vulnerability-reducing effects. These correlates of vulnerability are extremely similar to the correlates of poverty among the sampled households. Both covariate and idiosyncratic shocks are felt more by the vulnerable households. The results further show that vulnerability among the studied households is exacerbated by low average consumption levels more than consumption volatility. The determinants of risk management strategies were analyzed using a multinomial logistic regression model. The results have shown that drought, rising food prices and illness are among the major shocks that the sampled households face, with crop diversification being used as an ex-ante risk management strategy. Ex-post coping strategies take the form of safety net programs, use of household assets and getting support from social networks, among others. The major determinants of the choice of the ex-post coping strategy among the studied households include the size of the household, the number of economically active individuals in the household, per capita landholdings, ownership of livestock, access to markets and the type of shocks that households face. Consumption smoothing was analyzed using a household asset index due to unavailability of household income data. A test for consumption smoothing was then run by considering the impact of changes in the household asset index between 2004 and 2006 on changes in consumption. The results, which are robust to measurement error in consumption expenditure, show that the studied households try to protect their consumption from shocks, with food consumption being protected more than non-food consumption. Further, poor households tend to protect their food consumption more than the non-poor households. However, the study found no evidence of perfect consumption smoothing. The major policy implications are that poverty reduction programmes would be more effective in rural Malawi if they do not only incorporate the currently poor but also the vulnerable. Since the study has shown that the main source of vulnerability appears to be low mean consumption levels among the studied households, social protection programmes that take the form of productivity-enhancing safety nets, targeting not only the poor but also the vulnerable would be effective to help them cope with shocks and increase household mean consumption levels. Programmes that help rural households to accumulate assets are also needed to help them cope with shocks. Further, promotion of small and medium scale irrigation schemes as well as the use of weather insurance, as a means of reducing the costs associated with crop failure, could be effective in dealing with the major covariate shock, drought.
