Natural calamities or situations like COVID-19 can disrupt fundamental systems including agriculture and food and endanger the livelihoods of workers. Farmers are essential workers, and it is almost impossible for them to “work from home.”

This APO Talk will discuss how to reduce losses or relieve their impacts on farmers and how agricultural insurance programs will become more critical post-COVID-19 for ensuring national food security and improving rural productivity.
