Untapped Potential

Abstract

Small-scale family farmers are the unsung heroes of the global food system. They produce over a third of the world’s food and are key to climate adaptation, yet new analysis reveals they receive just 0.3% of international climate finance.

Discover the report based on the results of the new analysis of international public climate flows by Climate Focus, conducted on behalf of family farming networks representing over 35 million family farmers in Africa, Latin America, Asia and the Pacific, which reveals that only a tiny proportion is spent on family farmers and sustainable agriculture.
