"A NEW INITIATIVE TO MAKE CARBON MARKETS WORK FOR SMALLHOLDER FARMERS"

Millions of smallholder farmers are exposed to the risk of climate change. Smallholder farmers can build their resilience and reduce the carbon footprint of food production by farming in balance with nature. Solidaridad has started an ambitious programme called ‘From climate victims to climate heroes’ that aims to activate the power of millions of smallholders as a global force to address poverty and climate change.

Farmers will adopt climate-smart agroforestry farming practices, build their resilience and get access to carbon markets at scale. We aim for a global alliance that makes carbon markets work for smallholder farmers - an ambition that extends beyond the scope of the programme. Therefore, we invite new strategic partners to join us in further scaling this initiative beyond the original scope."
