COP30: Empowering Smallholders for Global Food Security
To achieve global climate and developmental goals, smallholder farmers must be at the center of climate action, according to Gabriel Ferrero, strategic advisor to the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program.
Despite food security being a fundamental priority under the Paris Agreement, agriculture and food systems have been neglected in climate negotiations. This is concerning, as farming and land use are among the sectors most vulnerable to climate impacts, particularly for smallholder farmers and small-scale food producers.
Agriculture is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, but it is also a powerful potential source of solutions.
Agrifood systems currently receive only a small portion of funding, highlighting the need for increased support and empowerment of smallholder farmers to achieve resilient global food security.
