The author concludes that it is essential to extend the proposed methodology to other rain-fed crops in the selected countries and…
This study compiles and analyses approaches to the assessment of direct costs and of losses caused by the disruption of production processes. It systemizes the methods used in different hazard communities, identifying similarities and differences, so that as much as possible can be learned from each hazard type. It also highlights knowled…
