Chubb Agriculture Resource Hub
SERVING AGRICULTURE CLIENTS
Helping our clients become more sustainable and resilient
Welcome to the Chubb Agriculture Resource Hub, a digital resource to support Chubb’s crop and agriculture clients in identifying and adopting practices that support resiliency, sustainability and profitability.
Farmers and agriculture clients implementing sustainable practices will find information and tools, including a library of best practices, news and a directory of trusted farm advisers.
We plan to update the Chubb Agriculture Resource Hub from time to time, so visit periodically for information on new tools and services.
Resilient Agriculture
Farmers are uniquely vulnerable to extreme weather events such as drought, floods and heat. Together, these three phenomena caused 55% of crop losses in the United States in 2023.1
Fortunately for farmers, there is a suite of evidence-based sustainable practices that can help them increase their resiliency against extreme weather, enhance the sustainability of their operations and even improve their operation's profitability.
Soil Health
Healthy soil improves resilience. Strong soil structure and high organic matter enhance nutrient uptake and water retention, reducing vulnerability to extreme weather conditions.
Water Efficiency
U.S. farmers face water scarcity, making efficient irrigation systems crucial practice to build resilience and preserve resources while saving money and energy.
Nutrient Management
Implementing a nutrient management plan helps farmers find the right balance of nutrient application, avoiding possible yield deficiencies or unnecessary expenses.
Crop Planning
As more farmers face rising temperatures and droughts, crop switching and revenue diversification strategies help them adapt to higher temperatures and more frequent events.
Reducing Agricultural Emissions
Reducing Agricultural Emissions
In addition to helping farmers become more resilient and profitable, many of the practices outlined above can also reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from sources like fertilizer application or livestock manure.
By reducing their emissions, farmers can unlock new opportunities to generate revenue through emerging carbon or ecosystem service markets. They may also find new markets to companies up the value chain who are looking to reduce their emissions.
Biogas production can turn waste organics, manure, and other feedstocks into renewable energy. Learn more about mitigating biogas production hazards through proper facility design, construction, operations, maintenance and ongoing monitoring.
Proactive risk management scan helps ensure that your solar photovoltaic (PV) farm operates efficiently and profitably while minimizing the potential for storm damage and disruption to operations.
