Make Change Happen 13: Getting climate resilience right - why back smallholder organisations?
Forest and farm smallholders are fighting for their livelihoods and food security. New research shows producers’ practical measures for climate resilience have impact, but barriers remain to scaling the work up and out.
In this ‘super year’ of climate and nature, the latest episode of the Make Change Happen podcast hosts a discussion on what support smallholders need, and who should provide it.
Hosted by Liz Carlile, director of communications at the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), the discussion features Elizabeth Nsimadala, a Ugandan young agriprenuer, president of the Pan-Africa Farmers Organization (PAFO) and the Eastern Africa Farmers Federation (EAFF); Clare Shakya, director of IIED’s Climate Change research group; and Duncan Macqueen, researcher in IIED's Natural Resources research group.
