IAFN – Smallholder Innovation Side Event – UNFCCC COP27 – 2022
Most smallholders struggle to increase their productivity and resilience. They lack access to output and input markets, as well as to advice and finance.

Smallholder farming in most of the developing world emits few greenhouse gases (GHG), but has a huge need to become more resilient. A more serious challenge is extensification, which is often associated with forest destruction. Both drive the need for more intensive use of existing farmland. If not, developing countries will face larger food imports, faster deforestation, and heavier migration.
