Risk planning is critical to ensure future of farm

Q&A: Michael Doyle

The recent spate of extreme whether has caused many to consider their plans and investment in risk mitigation, with both citizens and businesses thinking about what they can do to protect against, or at least minimise, the damage caused by these increasingly inevitable events, which at the start of the year were ranked by the World Economic Forum as the most likely environmental global risk in 2014.

We spoke to Michael Doyle, head of agri business for Zurich Insurance, to get some perspective on just how bad the recent weather has been, and to get advice on how farmers can protect their assets against future storms.
