Preparing the agriculture sector and building the resilience of small-scale farmers will not be possible without significant increases in climate finance. Ensuring finance actually reaches the small-scale farmers, SMEs, and cooperatives on the front lines of our food systems is essential.
How can donors and institutions like IFAD work together to multiply impact and really make a difference to the lives of small-scale farmers? How can we ensure that impact actually reaches the household level? How can we leverage indigenous approaches and the potential of women as equal contributors?
We will hear from those who know best – the farmers themselves.
This HLPF side-event will share lessons learned from IFAD’s Adaptation for Smallholder Agriculture Programme (ASAP) to highlight practical ways to support the resilience of small-scale farmers around the world.
