These multiple and complex risks pose several challenges regarding their management by the direct actors responsible for food provision. However, these challenges do not affect insurance companies with the same severity, whether in terms of risk assessment and identification or in evaluating and addressing damages and compensations. An insurance system can play a crucial role in further contribution to the food security in the state.
