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.
