Quick fix for hunger and climate goals? More spending on small farmers (Devdiscourse)

October 12, 2020


Devdiscourse published an article that stated global goals to tackle climate change and end hunger by 2030 are within reach if donors and developing nations help small farmers grow more climate resilient crops, access irrigation and tap into social safety nets. The Ceres2030: ‘Sustainable Solutions to End Hunger identified 10 key shifts that could lift nearly 500 million people out of hunger, double the incomes of 545 million small farmers in low- and middle-income countries, and limit agricultural emissions. Of that money, $14 billion would need to come from donors, who already supply $12 billion to tackle hunger, with $19 billion provided by developing countries.
