Farmers' Perceptions about Risk and Risk Management Strategies

The book "Farmers' Perceptions about Risk and Risk Management Strategies" by Zewdu Getachew offers a comprehensive analysis of farmers' perceptions regarding risks in agriculture and the strategies for managing them. The study examines which types of risks are considered particularly significant, as well as the factors that influence these perceptions. It specifically addresses production risks such as rainfall variability, drought, soil fertility loss, and weeds. Additionally, it discusses institutional and market risks, such as land scarcity and price fluctuations of seeds and crops. The findings of this research aim to contribute to the development and implementation of appropriate risk management strategies that are relevant for both governmental and non-governmental organizations, as well as the academic community. The book also serves as a foundation for future research on the perceptions of smallholder farmers regarding risk management strategies.
