Strengthening Agricultural Resilience in the Face of Multiple Risks
This report explores how countries can strengthen the resilience of their agricultural sectors to multiple risks. A shifting risk landscape in agriculture – due to increasing weather variability, natural hazards, pests and diseases, and market shocks – will require public and private actors to consider the risk landscape over the long term, place a greater emphasis on what can be done ex ante to reduce risk exposure and increase preparedness, and prioritise investments that build resilience capacities both on-farm and for the sector as a whole. This report offers a framework for applying resilience thinking to risk management in agriculture, and explores how four OECD countries – Australia, Canada, Italy and the Netherlands – are mainstreaming resilience into their agricultural risk management policy frameworks.
Resilience to animal and plant health risks in the Netherlands
This chapter examines resilience to animal and plant health risks in the Netherlands. Relevant agricultural policy frameworks are first presented, including a discussion of animal and plant health risk governance according to the three-layer framework. This is followed by a discussion of how the country’s agricultural sector stakeholders consider the five resilience dimensions in their approach to managing animal and plant health risk.
