Informing Policy with Agricultural Research-for-Development: Insights from Research on Resilience

• Limited access to credit, e.g., due to a lack of collateral and documented land rights, exposes smallholder farmers to risk and liquidity constraints • This does not only reduce farmers’ ability to cope with weather shocks but may also prevent them from investing in their farms. • Insurance to re...
