Incorporating economic risk aversion in agroforestry planning

Incorporating economic risk aversion in agroforestry planning The ability to use a knowledge of past market price fluctuations to reduce the risk of future financial returns is explored in the context of planning an agroforestry system with a cash crop component. It is demonstrated that if past crop price behavior is indicative of future price behavior, planting crops with stable and/or negatively correlated net revenues can reduce the variance of future net revenues and hence decrease the financial risks of agroforestry systems. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Agroforestry Systems Springer Journals

Abstract

The ability to use a knowledge of past market price fluctuations to reduce the risk of future financial returns is explored in the context of planning an agroforestry system with a cash crop component. It is demonstrated that if past crop price behavior is indicative of future price behavior, planting crops with stable and/or negatively correlated net revenues can reduce the variance of future net revenues and hence decrease the financial risks of agroforestry systems.
