AgriConnect Series: Scaling Agricultural Insurance


Agricultural insurance has the potential to help farmers manage risk, strengthen resilience to climate shocks, and invest more confidently in productive opportunities. Yet despite its promise, coverage remains limited across many low- and middle-income countries, raising important questions about how insurance solutions can be designed, delivered, and scaled effectively.

The webinar, Scaling Agricultural Insurance, part of the AgriConnect Knowledge Series: Evidence for Better Jobs in Farming and Agribusiness, explored the role of agricultural insurance in supporting smallholder farmers and strengthening agrifood systems. 

The program analyzed the evidence on what works in agricultural insurance, the challenges, and practical approaches to expanding access at scale.

Watch the replay (coming soon) and stay tuned for the next webinar of the series.
