  4. Production Risk • Diversification • Alternative, and Sustainable Agriculture • http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/sustainag/links/ • New Technologies and Inputs • Energy, nursery, organics, equipment • Crop Production • Weather, pests, equipment breakdowns, others • Insurance • Crop and Livestock Insurance • Property and liability insurance • Health and disability insurance

  5. Basic crop insurance At a minimum, growers should purchase “Catastrophic Coverage” (CAT) for eligible crops, and “Non-Insured Crop Disaster Assistance” (NAP) for crops that cannot be insured under CAT. Although these programs don’t offer a high degree of protection, they do help in case of serious crop failures, they are very affordable, and they make you eligible for assistance in the event of disasters like widespread drought or flood. Additional crop insurance beyond CAT or NAP may be worth the additional cost to you, but it takes time to figure out these costs and benefits. If you don’t have that time, at least get CAT or NAP coverage. http://www.rma.usda.gov/policies/
