Farmer Organisatins, Climate Change and Biodiversity
This policy brief discusses the importance of Farmer Organisations (FOs) in influencing climate and biodiversity policies. While smallholder farmers are crucial for adapting to climate change and protecting biodiversity, their needs are often overlooked in international and national policies.
FOs can represent these farmers and ensure their voices are heard at all levels of governance. This is especially important for Pacific Island FOs, who can help create climate-resilient food systems and communities in the Pacific.
The brief highlights the need for better access to climate and biodiversity funding for smallholder farmers, which FOs can advocate for through policy engagement.
