Risk Navigator SRM : An Applied Risk Management Tool

Abstract EN

Risk Navigator SRM is a ten-step risk management program for agricultural producers, which is based on the strategic planning process.

The ten steps are designed to integrate disparate and difficult risk management concepts into a single system that is easy to use, yet still effective.

With the aid of computers and the internet, producers can work through each step toward a final comprehensive plan.

The website includes 25 decision tools that help producers accomplish each step and provides links to complementary educational programs, like a national agricultural risk education library, the award-winning risk management simulation program called Ag Survivor, and a recently published book that describes the program and provides additional depth and explanations.

The ten-step program has been presented in over 200 workshops with over 90 percent approval by participants.

The website has averaged over 1,000 unique visitors per month from 120 countries.
