Farmers in the North and the South are facing large variations in the yields and prices of agricultural products. Insurance systems have been set up in about a hundred countries to secure farmers’ incomes and provide them with easier access to credit. But these systems are controversial: their costs, effectiveness and impacts are debated. How can agricultural insurance reach more producers and contribute to strengthening food security and poverty reduction? In particular, what should be the role of public intervention? The conference, organized by the Foundation for World Agriculture and Rurality, and by Pluriagri, has explored the challenges and the stakes of insurance systems, drawn the lessons from existing schemes and opened the debate with the different stakeholders: farmers, insurers and reinsurers, experts, NGO’s, governments and international organizations.
