The course introduces participants to a market-based risk management approach for correlated risks affecting the agricultural sector such as weather risk and commodity price risk.

This course presents innovative risk management mechanisms that suit the correlated nature of weather and price risks that affect agriculture and offers affordable solutions for low income countries. It consists of three self-paced modules, discussion forums, readings, case studies, and knowledge check quizzes.
