Droughts: Farmers' domestic and productive attitudes and behaviours
Originally perceived as an occasional natural hazard, drought is now a phenomena, for which one can be prepared, despite the difficulties in determining its beginning and end. It is therefore crucial to understand the individual and social behaviour, in order to adopt effective measures and policies to mitigate the negative effects of that phenomenon, reducing costs and losses.
