This AgMission-funded project, the Global Producers’ Consultation, engages farmers and ranchers comprehensively, allowing producers and scientists to co-create a research agenda that produces actionable insights.
“There is a generation of passionate and energetic future leaders willing and committed to boosting the entire agricultural sector towards a sustainable future for all: our farmers, people and planet. Their insights and perspectives are indispensable as we navigate the challenges of climate change,” said WFO President Arnold Puech d’Alissac. “This initiative not only empowers the next generation of agricultural leaders but also ensures that their voices and experiences shape the future of research agenda on climate-smart agriculture.
This new project will explore focus areas that include young farmers’ awareness of and willingness to adopt existing solutions and the systemic barriers to adoption. The results of the consultation will be published in a publicly available report and will inform the AgMission research agenda. This research can also benefit other organizations and companies who are interested in working with farmers to better support CSA adoption.
AgMission is an initiative co-created by FFAR and the World Farmers’ Organisation to unlock agriculture’s potential to address climate change.
