Summary/Abstract: The experience of Commonwealth countries indicates that the economic criteria of the free market and protectionism do not ensure sustainable development of agriculture and rural areas. Hence the search for new instruments of risk management that provide economic and environmental balance as well as durable and stable development of agriculture.

The aim of mutual funds is to stabilize farm incomes which in turn contributes to the goals of sustainable development.
