      Harness climate and environmental intelligence to understand and manage your agricultural risk profile.

      66% decrease

      For every 1⁰C of warming, net farm income decreased by 66% for the average farm over the last four decades, according to a 40-year study by the Environmental Defense Fund.

      $21.94 billion in losses

      In 2023, extreme weather and other natural disasters caused over $21.94 billion in crop and rangeland losses in the U.S., according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.

      $10 billion not insured

      Nearly $10 billion of those losses were not insured through the Risk Management Agency, existed outside policies’ coverage levels, or did not qualify under an existing risk management program, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.

      Climate Risk Intelligence for Agricultural Operations

      In the face of changing climate and unpredictable environmental conditions, agriculture is more challenging than ever. Droughts, floods, wildfires, changing weather patterns,  increased pests and pathogens, and other environmental issues often threaten crop yields, livestock and infrastructure. 

      As crops and livestock are increasingly exposed to weather-related disasters and other climate-change affected events, farmers and ranchers are also struggling with higher insurance premiums and reduced coverage. According to the American Farm Bureau Federation, only 55% of crop losses from climate-related disasters were covered by insurance - forcing many farmers and ranchers to bear a substantial percentage of the burden of these losses. 

      To sustain productivity and profitability, farmers, ranchers, and food processors must improve their risk management and adapt to these challenges to increase resilience. With AreaHub’s cutting-edge risk insights and patented technology, the agriculture industry can identify climate and pollution risks, anticipate future impacts, and make proactive decisions to safeguard crops. Our climate and environmental risk reports are powered by scientifically-validated data sources, robust methodologies, and strong processes and controls designed to provide trustworthy insights.

      Agricultural Disruptions and Operational Continuity

      How does extreme weather impact agricultural productivity?

      Agriculture, which contributes over $300 billion annually, per the EPA, to the U.S. economy and is critical to the food supply both domestically and globally, faces significant risks from extreme weather events. AreaHub's climate intelligence tools help the agriculture industry proactively manage and mitigate these threats.

      Key Risks

      Crop Losses

      Droughts, floods, and heat waves can devastate crops, reducing yields and causing significant economic losses.

      Livestock Health

      High temperatures lead to heat stress in livestock, impacting weight gain, milk production, and fertility—factors that directly reduce productivity and profit margins.

      In 2023, NOAA reported nearly $22 billion in crop losses from major natural disasters. About 75% of these losses stemmed from drought, heat, and wildfire, while flooding, heavy rain, and hurricanes accounted for another 18%.

      During the previous year in 2022, extreme heat specifically in Kansas caused the death of thousands of cattle, driving up beef prices nationwide.
