Signature Work Project Overview

This paper examines the complex interactions between climate change-induced extreme weather events (ewes), agricultural productivity and rural credit markets. Through a case study, it analyzes how ewes affect farmers’ credit demand by influencing agricultural output. The study utilizes agricultural economics and environmental risk management theories to propose policy and practical solutions aimed at increasing the resilience of rural communities and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. It emphasizes the need for innovative financial solutions and supportive policies to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change on agriculture and rural economies.
