Managing Risk

CAPI's Agri-Food Risk Report, created with support from the Global Institute for Food Security, highlights a critical gap. A lack of meaningful approach to risk management is limiting the sector's potential. The report offers actionable recommendations to address this. First, governments should focus on doing less but doing it better. A high-level framework should guide action complemented by targeted collaborative strategies for key issues. Second, the sector must emphasize collaboration over competition. Existing organizations should unite under a system promoting collaborative leadership, recognizing shared risks and opportunities. Third, clear rules for government and business in risk management must be established. Over-reliance on government support is unsustainable and individual businesses have an important role to play in risk management. Finally, clear, measurable, and realistic goals are essential. While past targets face challenges, well-defined goals paired with actionable plans and collaboration can drive progress. To learn more, read the Agri-Food Risk Report on CAPI's website.
