Agriculture has always been one of the most uncertain sectors due to climate variability, pest diseases and market fluctuations. In recent years, the intensification of extreme weather events and economic instabilities has made it imperative to adopt effective risk management tools. In this context, the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy has progressively introduced supporting measures, with particular emphasis on prevention and knowledge dissemination through AKIS.

The paper is structured into four chapters: introduction to agricultural risk, European and national regulations, analysis of ISMEA data, and finally the case study. The ISMEA data analysis shows that subsidized insurance is the most popular tool, but there remain critical issues related to bureaucratic slowness and low farmer confidence, which limit adherence. The choice to take out insurance depends heavily on the farmer's subjective perception of risk. The case study highlighted the importance of expertise as a key element of the insurance system and the role of public incentives in encouraging policy underwriting.

It is essential to train competent technicians and raise farmers' awareness of the importance and opportunities of insurance tools to ensure the economic resilience of agricultural enterprises.
L’agricoltura è da sempre uno dei settori più esposti all’incertezza, a causa della variabilità climatica, delle malattie fitosanitarie e delle fluttuazioni di mercato. Negli ultimi anni, l’intensificarsi degli eventi climatici estremi e delle instabilità economiche ha reso imprescindibile l’adozione di strumenti efficaci per la gestione del rischio. In tale contesto, la Politica Agricola Comune dell’Unione Europea ha progressivamente introdotto misure di sostegno, ponendo particolare enfasi sulla prevenzione e sulla diffusione delle conoscenze tramite il sistema AKIS. Questa tesi analizza le principali strategie di gestione del rischio in agricoltura, con un focus sulle assicurazioni agevolate previste dalla PAC 2023-2027, e si arricchisce con un caso studio applicativo relativo a una perizia su uva da vino nel comune di Castorano (AP), colpita da grandine e siccità. L’elaborato è strutturato in quattro capitoli: introduzione al rischio agricolo, normativa europea e nazionale, analisi dei dati ISMEA, e infine il caso studio. Dall’analisi dei dati ISMEA emerge che le assicurazioni agevolate rappresentano lo strumento più diffuso, ma permangono criticità legate alla lentezza burocratica e alla scarsa fiducia degli agricoltori, che limitano l’adesione. La scelta di assicurarsi dipende fortemente dalla percezione soggettiva del rischio da parte dell’imprenditore. Il caso studio ha evidenziato l’importanza della perizia come elemento chiave del sistema assicurativo e il ruolo degli incentivi pubblici nel favorire la sottoscrizione di polizze. In conclusione, la gestione del rischio deve diventare parte integrante delle politiche agricole e della pianificazione aziendale. È fondamentale formare tecnici competenti e sensibilizzare gli agricoltori sull’importanza e le opportunità offerte dagli strumenti assicurativi per garantire la resilienza economica delle imprese agricole.

Abstract
Agriculture has always been one of the most uncertain sectors due to climate variability, pest diseases and market fluctuations. In recent years, the intensification of extreme weather events and economic instabilities has made it imperative to adopt effective risk management tools. In this context, the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy has progressively introduced supporting measures, with particular emphasis on prevention and knowledge dissemination through AKIS. This thesis analyzes the main risk management strategies in agriculture, with a focus on subsidized insurance under the CAP 2023-2027, and is enriched with an application case study related to an appraisal of wine grapes in the municipality of Castorano (AP), affected by hail and drought. The paper is structured into four chapters: introduction to agricultural risk, European and national regulations, analysis of ISMEA data, and finally the case study. The ISMEA data analysis shows that subsidized insurance is the most popular tool, but there remain critical issues related to bureaucratic slowness and low farmer confidence, which limit adherence. The choice to take out insurance depends heavily on the farmer's subjective perception of risk. The case study highlighted the importance of expertise as a key element of the insurance system and the role of public incentives in encouraging policy underwriting. In conclusion, risk management must become an integral part of agricultural policies and farm planning. It is essential to train competent technicians and raise farmers' awareness of the importance and opportunities of insurance tools to ensure the economic resilience of agricultural enterprises.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
