An estimated 70 percent of the world's poor rely on agriculture for all or some of their household income. Farmers face a number of risks to their livelihoods, including unpredictable weather and crop price variation. These risks may also affect how they choose to borrow and invest to improve their business. The IPA projects in this sector seek to find out how we can help poor farmers in the developing world increase productivity and deal with the risks inherent in farming.
