Description:

The International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) at Columbia University helps people overcome climate risk through financial tools like index insurance and index-based disaster risk management. They have supported tens of thousands of farmers to take more productive chances with their farming practice through reducing the risk from a climate shock.

How to Help:

They can also link their corn farmers in sub-Saharan Africa with corn farmers in Iowa to allow them to learn from each other. Please contact them directly for more information or to become involved.
