Working with vulnerable farmers
People centred resilience. Working with vulnerable farmers towards climate change adaptation and food security
Worldwide, 1.7 billion small-scale farmers and pastoralists are highly vulnerable to climate change impacts. They live on marginal rural lands characterised by conditions such as low rainfall, sloping terrain, fragile soils, and poor market access, primarily in Africa and Asia. Such farmers are vulnerable because their farms depend directly on rainfall and temperature, yet they often have little savings and few alternative options if their crops fail or livestock die.
A new Oxfam report entitled People-centred resilience: Working with vulnerable farmers towards climate change adaptation and food security , outlines why donors and national governments must take immediate action to help vulnerable farmers build their resilience in order to improve their food security despite climate shocks.
