Tathmini na usimamizi wa hatari
Katika uwanja unaotambuliwa kimataifa wa tathmini na usimamizi wa hatari za kilimo, hatari zinaweza kutathminiwa kulingana na vigezo vitatu vya msingi:

- Uwezekano: Hatari hii inaweza kutokea? Hatari zingine ni nadra na hazitabiriki, zingine zina uwezekano wa kutokea.
- Udhibiti: mkulima, wengine wanaweza kubebwa kwa kiwango kikubwa au kidogo. Ni jambo la busara kutanguliza rasilimali chache kwenye hatari ambazo zinaweza kusimamiwa.
