Book excerpt: This report explores how countries can strengthen the resilience of their agricultural sectors to multiple risks. A shifting risk landscape in agriculture - due to increasing weather variability, natural hazards, pests and diseases, and market shocks - will require public and private actors to consider the risk landscape over the long term, place a greater emphasis on what can be done ex ante to reduce risk exposure and increase preparedness, and prioritise investments that build resilience capacities both on-farm and for the sector as a whole. This report offers a framework for applying resilience thinking to risk management in agriculture, and explores how four OECD countries - Australia, Canada, Italy and the Netherlands - are mainstreaming resilience into their agricultural risk management policy frameworks.
