Risk Management Agency (RMA)

The Risk Management Agency (RMA) is a branch of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) that helps farmers manage risks related to agriculture, like crop failure due to weather or market fluctuations. It administers programs that provide financial support, such as crop insurance, to protect farmers' incomes and investments. By promoting risk management strategies, the RMA aims to enhance the stability of the agricultural sector, ensuring that food production remains robust and farmers can sustain their livelihoods even when unexpected challenges arise.
