🚜With the right incentives and support, small-scale farmers can be even more powerful drivers of climate action. Complex procedures, slow disbursement of funds, and inadequate enabling environments obstruct the path to low-carbon, climate-resilient practices. In the aftermath of it's time to rectify the problem.

Farmers are already taking action when they have the right support:

🇹🇿In Tanzania, through the Dairy 2025 project, nearly 6k smallholders are accessing hubs for training, veterinary care and digital milk collection. Over 2k farmers have already doubled milk yields– proving that catalytic investment and local support can drive inclusive, climate-smart growth.

🇺🇬In Uganda and beyond, platforms like the Cool Farm Tool are helping farmers to measure emissions, track progress and access finance with integrity. By integrating these tools into local programs, Solidaridad is helping farmers and companies make regenerative practices scalable and actionable.

Climate action needs real enablers — finance, technology, and capacity building — that reach those driving change on the ground. ⏳.

Farmers have the solutions ⚡️. With the right support, they can put them into practice and scale climate-smart, low-carbon innovations that benefit people and the planet.

Climate action cannot succeed without social justice ✊. Women, youth and Indigenous peoples are among those most affected by the climate crisis, but they are often excluded from the decisions and finance opportunities. Inclusion is non-negotiable 📢. We need all hands on deck to face the challenges of tomorrow.

Inclusive, gender-responsive approaches are not only fair, they deliver stronger 💪, more durable climate outcomes. Here’s what equitable climate action looks like in practice:

🇰🇪In Kenya, the Horticulture for Growth project has supported over 30k small-scale farmers to improve food security through climate-smart horticulture. By linking farmers with buyers and finance, the project is boosting incomes while empowering women and youth as leaders in resilient food systems.

🇮🇳In India, the Good Farming, Good Food programme is tackling malnutrition by helping farmers diversify into soy and regenerative vegetable production. Women-led “nutrition champions” are promoting healthy diets and local resilience– increasing yields, improving nutrition and driving inclusion from the ground up.

Social justice is climate justice ⚖️. To create lasting change, women, youth, Indigenous people and other marginalized groups must have a seat at every table, from local planning to climate actions 🤝.

🌱 Why is it important to measure a farm's carbon footprint? Because it can improve production, care for the soil and open doors to new markets that pay better for more sustainable coffee.

Together with Matthew Algie and the Net Zero project, more than 100 producers in Capucas are already:

✅ Learning about the health of their soils
✅ Measuring the emissions their farms capture
✅ Applying practices such as biofertilization, agroforestry and farm renovation
✅ Preparing to sell in markets that demand carbon-neutral coffee

🔥 Find out how a new generation of producers is changing the future of coffee.
