In developing countries the agriculture sector absorbs about 22 percent of the total damage and losses caused by natural hazards. The study aims to help fill the current knowledge gap on the nature and magnitude of impacts of disasters triggered by natural hazards on the agriculture sector and its subsectors (crops, livestock, fisheries and forestry) in developing countries. Quantifying the full extent of sector damage and losses is fundamental to better understand people’s vulnerabilities and risks and inform appropriate risk reduction measures and investments. The study demonstrates that natural hazards regularly impact heavily on agriculture and hamper the eradication of hunger and achievement of sustainable development.
