Risk analysis in dryland farming systems
Risk and uncertainty are implicit for farmers and pastoralists in dryland areas. Approaches are reviewed for managing risk by the producer, the market place and the government and the importance of incentives is discussed. In risk analysis, the probability of occurence and the utility of counter-measures are considered. Various ways to mitigate risk are analysed: diversification, flexibility of farming systems, natural resource custodianship (i.e. water and soil conservation), and stabilisation. The allowance for risk for farmers, projects and policies pertaining to farming systems is outlined and some guidelines for computing risk deductions are given. 199 references
