The harvests of small-scale family farmers are strongly influenced by weather conditions, especially the consequences of climate change. These farmers, often working in tropical regions, regularly experience the direct impact of extreme weather conditions.
Most family farmers, who have often been connected to their country for generations, see how extremely irregular rainfall and prolonged droughts pose a threat to their harvests and thus make their livelihoods and financial stability uncertain.

To combat these problems, SFGA encourages sustainable agricultural practices, such as permaculture and organic cultivation without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. These methods increase the resilience of crops. This not only protects the environment but also helps the farmers to achieve yields despite the weather challenges.
For these family farmers, this means not only that they can maintain their businesses, but also that they contribute to a healthier future for their community and the environment.
By working together, they help each other make their farms more resilient and sustainable
