Weather hazards and crop insurance: a history of risk sharing

Pages 208 to 217

English

Meteorological hazards represent a growing threat to French agriculture under the effect of climate change. This article proposes to retrace this sharing of risk between farmers, insurers, and the State over time. We show that history can be divided into three distinct periods: 1) the State encourages people to mainly use the private insurance market; 2) the State is re-involved in risk coverage in agriculture; 3) establishment of a public-private partnership to hedge these hazards.
