[CLIC] 44% drop in climate finance to small-scale agrifood systems reveals need for action

[CLIC] Small-scale farmers and agribusinesses are on the front lines of two global battles: one to ensure food security and the other against climate change. As small-scale agriculture provides 35% of the world’s food supply and faces growing climate-related extremes, climate proofing its systems is critical to addressing both these challenges. However, climate finance to support small-scale agrifood actors has dropped by almost 44%, according to new analysis by the ClimateShot Investor Coalition (CLIC), falling far short of their needs.
