People-Centred Resilience: Working with vulnerable farmers towards climate change adaptation and food security
Summary:
Summary
This Oxfam report outlines why donors and national governments must take immediate action to help vulnerable farmers build their resilience in order to improve their food security despite climate shocks (Oxfam, 2009).
“Globally, 1.7 billion farmers are highly vulnerable to climate change impacts. The many who are already hungry are particularly vulnerable. Yet scaling up localised ‘resilience’ successes offers hope for these farmers, while helping to address the climate problem. New thinking to recognise vulnerable farmers as critical partners in delivering solutions is needed to increase their resilience and to enable them to help combat climate change. Bold new public investment to the supporting institutions will be needed.”
