Climate change has significant and far-reaching impacts on agriculture. Addressing these impacts requires adaptation strategies such as developing drought-tolerant crops, improving water management practices, adopting precision agriculture techniques, promoting sustainable land management practices, and implementing climate-resilient farming systems.

Farmers worldwide are making remarkable efforts and developing innovative solutions to confront the challenges posed by climate change in agriculture. While climate change is significantly impacting their livelihood, farmers are not merely victims, but rather, they are solution providers.

To recognize and celebrate the efforts of farmers, farmers’ organizations, and agricultural cooperatives that are making significant contributions to mitigating climate change and promoting sustainable agriculture practices, we have launched the Advancing Climate Resiliency through Farmers’ Organizations and Cooperatives Video Contest. This contest will showcase farmers’ resiliency and ingenuity as we highlight their innovative solutions, strategies, and success stories in their fight against climate change.

With this initiative, we seek to inspire and empower other farmers to adopt climate-smart practices and raise awareness among policymakers, researchers, and the general public about the farmers’ actions toward climate resiliency and sustainable agricultural practices to address the global climate crisis. By showing farmers as solution providers, we also aim to gain better access to climate financing.
