About this listen
Discover how Fairtrade Africa empowers farmers to combat
climate change threats by supporting them to not only grow food but also grow
people. Learn about innovative interventions like clean energy adoption for
cooking and lighting, dynamic agroforestry (intercropping food crops within
cocoa farms), and beekeeping, which diversify income streams and ensure food
security. We confront the harsh realities of pressing climate challenges such
as erratic weather patterns (extreme temperatures, heavy rains leading to
flooding and landslides), and the increased prevalence of diseases and pests.
We also highlight how the Fairtrade Premium is directly used by farmers for
climate change adaptation, farm rehabilitation, and waste recycling. The series
advocates for a collaborative effort from all players—including governments,
partners, certification bodies, market players, retailers, and development
agencies—to address the expensive and burdensome task of climate change
mitigation for farmers.
