Upcoming engagement opportunities


6 October 2022, 14:00 UTC+1 (BST) - 90mins Webinar |Carbon Market Access for Smallholder Farmers through Climate-Smart Agriculture

Making carbon markets accessible to small holder farmers would seem to lie at the intersection of livelihoods and regenerative agriculture. But with the nuances of both disciplines, finding ways for small holders to benefit from increased productivity and fees for environmental services is no small task. Recently, Solidaridad and Rabobank launched ACORN a direct trade platform that aims to make access to carbon markets for smallholder coffee farmers in Colombia a reality. In this webinar, Seth Petchers from the Sustainable Food Lab will join these two organisations to explore what it took to engineer and launch ACORN, and describe the benefits that they expect farmers will realize.

28 September 2022, 15:00 UTC+1 (BST) - 90mins. Webinar | The Role of Governments in Enabling Living Income in Global Agriculture Value Chains

Living Income is an important milestone for smallholder farmers along the pathway to prosperity. Both supply and demand-side Governments play an important role in providing an enabling environment for farmers to thrive, and there is a need for more cross sector learning and sharing on what different government actors are doing and what they need from other partners to be successful. This webinar will tackle:

Why should governments adopt Living Income Strategies and Policies? What examples exist? What is needed to engage more public policy makers and ensure that all farmers along the value chains receive a Living Income?

The webinar will feature a panel of government leaders who are shaping strategy and create policy related to Living Income in multiple sectors and regions. Join us to hear their experiences!
