Venue
Ramistrasse 101,

At the symposium, we will present and discuss recent scientific developments in the field of agricultural risk management and discuss novel insights and innova- tive approaches in risk mitigation integrating among international academics and industry experts.
Assessing and managing risks and uncertainties is key for an optimal decision- making, also in agricultural production. Increasingly climate variability is further accelerating uncertainty at all stages of value chains. Recent advances in Big Data are promising to provide opportunities and technologies to enhance risk man- agement in agricultural production using high-resolution data from satellites, open data platforms and data from agricultural machines. A risk-based decision- making incorporating these advances will involve a common understanding among up and downstream companies, policy makers as well as finance and insurance professionals.
