“…In the case of more distant and uncertain risks, the challenge is to link awareness and understanding of potential impacts to risk perceptions, management practices and strategies, probably through social learning processes (Lebel et al, 2010;Baird et al, 2014). Third, in many ways, household-based farms are like small firms: understanding how they perceive climate-related risks is important to developing more comprehensive and effective farm risk management tools (Le et al, 2012;Leppälä et al, 2012). Market, financial, political and social risks are likely to interact with climate-related risks, influencing perceptions of those risks and decisions to respond (Le and Cheong, 2010;Ahsan, 2011).…”

Perceptions of climate-related risks and awareness of climate change of fish cage farmers in northern Thailand

et al. 2015

How climate risks are understood and perceived by farmers is important because it can influence their management practices. Farmers in Northern Thailand who rear fish in floating cages in rivers can cope with modest fluctuations in water levels, but appear vulnerable to more extreme changes in flow. This study used in-depth interviews and a quantitative survey across many sites to explore how fish farmers perceive climaterelated risks and understand climate change. Important climate-related risks -such as floods and droughts -vary by season, year and location, and are modified by water infrastructure. Recent experience of negative impacts increases levels of concern about risks. Risks from droughts were perceived to have significantly worsened. The overall level of awareness of climate change among fish farmers is high, suggesting that future work should focus on building on from how farmers manage risks under the current climate, to then take into account climate change. This study shows that a good understanding of risk perception is likely to be important in improving climate risk management, and thus adaptation to climate change.

“…Ambas as áreas possuem um desenvolvimento avançado na área de pesquisa de gestão de riscos financeiros e de seguros, onde os pesquisadores dedicam-se ao estudo de seguros, mercados futuros e de opções e programas governamentais de gestão de riscos. Leppälä et al (2012) desenvolveram uma ferramenta para identificação de riscos de uma fazenda, que consiste em um checklist de possíveis fontes de risco. Van Winsen et al (2013) inovam ao identificar riscos e apresentar a percepção de agricultores através de um mapa cognitivo, onde fica evidente que as fontes de riscos e suas consequências são interrelacionados e variam para cada sistema produtivo, mantendo apenas 56% de semelhança entre os sistemas.…”

Enterprise risk management in integrated crop-livestock systems: a method proposition

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS) are currently promoted agricultural production systems that aim to use better resources through production integration and intensification. While this system reduces some risks, it adds complexity and new risks to businesses due to interdependence between the agricultural modules. To deal with these issues, integrated risk management is required to reduce the effects of risks and to take advantage of the opportunities of an ICLS. Generically, enterprise risk management (ERM) meets this need by proposing comprehensive and coherent risk management, instead of managing agricultural module risks individually. However, there is a need to customize the ERM approach to ICLS. Therefore, the current study aims to develop a method to manage risks for ICLS based on ERM, integrating the management of risks and aligning risk management with the strategic objectives. A literature review, a pilot study, interviews with experts, four case studies and 20 practitioners supported the method development and evaluation through three versions. As a result, the method identifies and relates risks through process mapping with a qualitative and quantitative analysis of their impacts, determines risk responses based on willingness to take risks, and helps identify processes to control, communicate and monitor the risks. The method also stimulates the implementation of ICLS in market-oriented farms, providing an approach to increase the chances of ICLS success. The main difference from previous research lies in the integrative management of multiple risks, the alignment of risks with strategy and the consideration that a risk might be considered an opportunity.
