Agricultural Insurance
The Spanish Combined Agricultural Insurance System is considered an international benchmark in agricultural insurance due to its public-private model, the breadth of its coverage, and the development achieved.
With a history spanning nearly 50 years, Law 87/1978 of Combined Agricultural Insurance has proven to be a cornerstone for effective risk management in Agriculture. This system demands significant efforts in research, development, data analysis, and the design of an institutional framework with collaboration from public and private sectors, professional agricultural organizations, and agri-food cooperatives. At CEIGRAM, we are dedicated to tackling these challenges by advancing knowledge in risk management tools for agriculture, livestock, and the environment.
It is also dedicated to dissemination, knowledge transfer, and training in the fields of its research. Aligned with its mission, research areas, and the expertise of its team, CEIGRAM is integrated into the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Agronómica, Alimentaria y de Biosistemas at UPM.
Training in Agricultural Insurance
The CEIGRAM, in collaboration with AGROSEGURO, is driving a training and outreach program focused on Agricultural Insurance and the management of agricultural and environmental risks. These initiatives are designed to introduce technicians and other interested parties to the latest scientific, technological, and digital innovations applied to agriculture, with a special focus on risk assessment in the insurance sector.
Since 2024, Agroseguro and CEIGRAM have been linked through a Aula-Empresa Agreement, created to advance this educational commitment by organizing specialized seminars whose content and registration process will be updated periodically. In this section, courses and workshops will be displayed as soon as the relevant information becomes available.
