This module examines the types of insurance that households have access to and their use to protect themselves against risks.
Contribution to resilience
Access to appropriate insurance mechanisms strengthens the resilience of farming households by protecting them against financial losses related to climate shocks, disease, or market fluctuations. By securing a portion of income in the event of unforeseen events, insurance reduces uncertainty, facilitates decision-making, and encourages investment in more sustainable practices. It thus provides an essential safety net for maintaining economic stability and preserving livelihoods.
