Extreme weather is driving up crop and livestock losses worldwide — and straining the very insurance markets farmers rely on to recover. Environmental Defense Fund (EDF)’s new global report, The State of Global Agricultural Insurance Under a Changing Climate, examines agricultural insurance programs and market trends and explores pathways toward strengthening agricultural insurance systems to protect farmers, their business partners, and our global food supply.

On July 30, join EDF and a panel of experts for the webinar, The State of Global Agricultural Insurance, to discuss the report’s findings and the future of crop insurance.

Panelists

  • Peter Hazell, Research Fellow Emeritus, IFPRI
  • Kelvin Shikuku, Senior Scientist (Economist), International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)
  • Rowan Douglas, Honorary Practice Fellow at Imperial College London; Former CEO of Climate Risk & Resilience at Howden
  • Lisa Yu, Head of Product, Southeast Asia Disaster Risk Insurance Facility (SEADRIF)
