Descripción
The adverse impacts of natural hazard induced disasters on agriculture, through damage to facilities and equipment, and production losses in the crops, livestock, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture subsectors, call for the enhanced mainstreaming of disaster risk reduction (DRR) within and across agriculture sectors. There is an urgent need to identify good practices for disaster risk management (DRM), in particular ‘ex ante’ measures, applied by governments, farmers and other stakeholders to increase resilience to natural hazard induced disasters as the increasing frequency and intensity of these types of disasters, and particularly of climate related hazards, are adversely impacting agriculture. Particular attention was given to the issue of agricultural risk management under the Republic of Italy’s G7 Presidency in 2017. In order to make a concrete contribution to this subject, the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies and Tourism of the Republic of Italy decided to finance a study on building agricultural resilience to natural hazard induced disasters. The current project was the result of that decision.
