Actively managing risk is a relatively new concept for many crop and livestock producers and policymakers. To address the need for information and analysis on agricultural risk management policy, CARD Director Bruce Babcock has initiated a core area of research at CARD.
CARD's ARMP division assesses policies affecting valuation and risk management, government price support and disaster relief programs, and agricultural insurance and alternatives.
