Abstract
Many examples collected by Baier (2000, 2004) deal with defining and coping with weather and climate risks in agriculture and some also with related strategical and policy matters. The prize winning and other (see Part II) examples of the INSAM (2006–2008) contests of best examples of agrometeorological services are most often also related to coping strategies with such risks. Some more agrometeorological case studies may be found in WMO (2001, 2004, 2010).
