Introduction
Agriculture plays a vital role in the global economy, providing food, fiber, and fuel for billions of people worldwide. However, farmers face numerous challenges that threaten their livelihoods, including natural disasters, market fluctuations, and climate change. In recent years, the importance of agricultural insurance in helping farmers mitigate these risks and build resilience has gained increasing recognition.
This thesis explores the influence of agricultural insurance on farmer resilience. By analyzing the relationship between insurance coverage and farmers’ ability to recover from shocks and adapt to changing conditions, this study aims to provide insights into how insurance can support sustainable agricultural practices and enhance food security.
