Wageningen University & Research will host a dynamic summer school on Risk Analysis, Risk Management, and Resilience in Agriculture from 23 to 27 June 2025 in Wageningen, the Netherlands.
This intensive, week-long programme brings together early-career researchers, PhD candidates, and professionals interested in the increasingly complex risk landscape facing today’s agricultural systems. Participants will explore how modern farming is affected by a variety of risks—economic, environmental, climatic, and geopolitical—and how policy instruments, insurance, and resilience strategies can mitigate these challenges.
Key themes include:
- Understanding different types of risk in agriculture and food systems
- Methods for risk measurement and modelling
- Risk management tools and strategies for farms and agri-food chains
- Resilience as a framework for policy and practice
- EU and global approaches to agricultural risk and uncertainty
The programme features a blend of lectures, group work, real-world case studies, and interactive discussions led by international experts from academia and policy. This learning environment encourages cross-disciplinary exchange and hands-on application of tools and methods in agricultural risk analysis.
Target audience: PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, professionals in agri-policy, insurance, or rural development.
📍 Location: Wageningen Campus, The Netherlands
