Crop Insurance, Land Productivity and the Environment: A Way forward to a Better Understanding

Providing farmers with effective risk management tools and increasing the productivity of factors of production, while limiting negative effects on the environment, is an important challenge for the current EU agricultural policy. The aim of this research is to identify and evaluate the relationship...
