Evolving climatic adaptation through crop insurance

The pilot began in 2009, DHAN trained staff and community leaders to conduct exposure visits to the federations where crop insurance had been implemented during the past period. As the index based crop insurance was new to farmers, staff wanted to make sure that farmers understood the product concepts and its relevance for their crop risks. The core objective is to develop various mutual crop insurance products small-scale farmers who do not have access to insurance mechanisms for adapting to climate change related issues.
