About us

Family Farmers for Climate Action is an alliance of farmer organisations representing over 50 million producers across Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Pacific.  

Small-scale family farmers produce a third of the world’s food and are on the front line of the climate crisis, but receive just 0.3% of international climate finance to adapt. Family farmers are pioneering the solutions needed to tackle the climate, nature and food crisis yet are sidelined by governments and overlooked by funders.

This has to change. We are calling on governments and funders – public and private – to recognise the key role family farmers play in building more sustainable and climate resilient food systems. We urge them to work with us, and invest in us, so we can feed the world for generations to come.

Family Farmers for Climate Action is supported by:

Forest and Farm Facility 

Foundation for Farmers Organisations and Restorative Action

The International Union for the Conservation of Nature
