Millions of small-scale farmers and foresters will be able to better protect their lands from the impacts of climate change, and improve their livelihoods thanks to renewed global efforts announced last two weeks ago on the side-lines of World Forest Week (COFO24).

The Forest and Farm Facility initiative - a partnership among FAO, IIED, IUCN and AgriCord initiated in 2013 - will scale up its efforts to help forest and farm producers and their organizations develop climate resilient landscapes, strengthen enterprises and generate work opportunities for women and youth, and create more enabling policy environments for the rural poor.
