“…In general, overlooking the multi-exposure causal chain of vulnerability, dynamic and context-specific phenomenon of vulnerability, insufficiency of a single metrics to capture all dimension of vulnerability, and lack of standard weight to combine indicators are documented as the limitations of the former vulnerability empirical works (Eitzinger et al, 2018;Feola et al, 2015;Feola and Binder, 2010;Singh et al, 2018;Singh andNair, 2014 andWalker et al, 2006). This study is differentiated from most of the former works in modeling, methodological approach, and metrics of the farming system vulnerability.…”

“…However, despite smallholder farmers of the developing world are exposed to multi-stressors (Feola et al, 2015;Singh et al, 2018 andSingh andNair, 2014), most scholars have assessed the vulnerability of small-scale farmers in their cases focusing on climate change impacts as a single stressor (Fang et al, 2016;Gbetibouo et al, 2010;Ginkel et al, 2013;Hahn et al, 2009;Israel and Belay, 2019;Jamshidi et al, 2019;Opiyo et al, 2014;Pandey et al, 2017;Paulos and Belay, 2018;Sattar et al, 2017;Zarafshani et al, 2012 andZenebe et al, 2016). In the same vein, despite the context-specific and dynamic phenomenon of vulnerability, most of the current empirical works overlook the dynamic and context-specific features of vulnerability (Eitzinger et al, 2018 andSingh andNair, 2014).…”

Crop production under a smallholder system is challenged by several (a)biotic risks those resulted in livelihood insecurity. This study assesses farmers’ perceived vulnerability level to the crop farming risks and identifies its determinants using an integrated vulnerability analysis approach. Survey data collected from 393 sample households in West Shewa Zone, Ethiopia, were analyzed using PCA and ordered probit regression. Results indicate that 13 percent of the sampled households are highly vulnerable, 73.5 percent are moderately vulnerable and 13.5 percent are less vulnerable where 77 percent of the highly vulnerable groups faced more than 3 months lean season and 72 percent of the less vulnerable groups faced less than 3 months of lean season. Moreover, farming experience and education level of household head, livestock owned, farm size, on-farm diversification, access to credit, small scale irrigation, off-farming income, extension contact, and social capital are significantly affecting the perceived vulnerability level. These calls for need-based government and/or non-government intervention plans focusing on improving rural infrastructure and facilities and devising an effective and responsive institutional setup for enhancing the responsive capacities of smallholder farmers in the short-run and minimizing the likelihood of exposure and sensitivity in the long-run.

“…Panda (2016) mentions that at the community level, the constraints are lack of government intervention, no knowledge about drought resistant crops, lack of renovation of water bodies and irrigation systems. Overall, integration of indigenous knowledge and traditional practices with scientific knowledge and development planning is supported by Banerjee et al (2015) and Singh et al (2018a), Singh et al (2018b).…”

Indian farmers are adopting several farm-level adaptation options to mitigate potential impacts from climate changeand extreme events. Although different studies have identified determinants, there is limited literature on systematic review of factors that drive farmer’s adaptive behaviour, particularly in India. This chapter aims to address this gap, and in doing so, it furnishes three major findings. First, non-climatic factors like demographic characteristics, asset and income, education, dependency on agriculture, farm characteristics and access to financial institutions are observed as major motivating factors. Second, this chapter advocates future studies to establish the causal relationship of farm-level options with climate changeand extreme events. Third, there is a paucity of studies with reference to perception, risk attitude behaviour, behavioural anomalies, climate information and government policies related to generic and specific disaster. These remarks render important avenues for scholarly communities and policy makers for expanding the domains of future research while realigning existing plans to address the observed gaps and develop evidence-based policies for scaling up farm-level adaptation mechanisms.

“…These schemes have been adopted as a public–private partnership (PPP) mode on February 18, 2016 by the government with major control on the design of the insurance product, amount of subsidy and the sum insured. These insurance schemes insured the climate-induced crop risk in agriculture production (Singh et al , 2018).…”

PurposeAgriculture insurance is the panacea for the farming community. Many policy interventions were implemented for stimulating agriculture insurance access to farmers in India. However, access to agriculture insurance constantly remained one of the major challenges to Indian policy planners. The goal of the present paper is to explore current policy interventions in the area of agriculture insurance in India.Design/methodology/approachThe present paper reviews and analyzes the evidence literature through a content analysis method on development and performance analysis perspective of existing agriculture insurance schemes in India.FindingsAgriculture insurance is a significant risk management policy, but this is not easily reachable to the majority of farmers in India. The government of India introduces a novel agriculture scheme every decade, but every crop insurance scheme was inconsistent and ineffective owing to operational defects. Agriculture insurance in India is still developing in terms of coverage, scope, and exposure, but farmers' dissatisfaction about agriculture insurance turned out to be a negative word of mouth. Insurance illiteracy and farmers' preference for agriculture relief payments are the main reasons for limited access to agriculture insurance. The current crop insurance schemes are improperly operated because of implementation issues at the state level.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper will be useful for researchers and academicians to analyze the past and present status of crop insurance in India.Originality/valueThe paper is the unique work of the authors as it has attempted to present India's journey with agriculture insurance. An effort is made in the present study to provide a comprehensive and holistic developmental and performance analysis perspective of agriculture insurance in India.
