| Description | Farmers in developing countries are frequently exposed
to the uncertainties of weather, prices and disease.
Many farmers live on the edge of extreme uncertainty,
sometimes falling just below, and sometimes rising just
above the threshold of survival. Farmers do not know
whether rainfall will be good or bad over a season; they
do not know the prices they will receive for produce
sold; and they do not know whether their crops will be
infected by disease. These risks are not under the control
of farmers but some farmers have developed ways of
coping and managing them. |
