The study Risk Management In Agriculture, A Holistic Approach is the first building
block of a project on risk management in agriculture undertaken by OECD. It develops a
conceptual framework to analyse risk management strategies, takes stock of current
policy measures, and analyses the exposure of the agriculture sector to risk. This
framework will be used to further analyze agricultural risk management systems in

environments and their use of different instruments. The present study builds on Income
Risk Management in Agriculture (OECD, 2000). Information on the risk management
project can be followed in
