When the climate changes, agriculture faces new challenges that affect yields with unpredictable weather patterns. Reduced soil fertility and vulnerability to droughts and floods, resulting from deforestation and inappropriate agricultural practices, further complicate this situation. To respond to this complex scenario, we use a regenerative agriculture approach to improve incomes, market access, and food security while conserving biodiversity and building resilience to climate change.

In addition to our commitment to creating livelihoods and promoting sustainable ecosystems, we aim to enable more people to access energy to power their economic activities. We team up with local businesses and farmer-led groups to strengthen local economies. By blending traditional and local practices with innovative strategies that adapt to changing climates, we help them thrive. We also bring public and private partners together so that the entire sector works better, ultimately enabling many thousands of vulnerable farmers to earn a better living.

By 2025, our vision is for smallholder farmers, including women, youth, and indigenous individuals, to be at the forefront of sustainable and inclusive agriculture. We’ll support 20,000 farmers embracing regenerative practices to enhance food security, income, and climate resilience. Simultaneously, we’ll reach 6,000 farmer entrepreneurs working in green businesses, accessing fair markets through climate information systems. Additionally, 90,000 farmers will benefit from policies and financing, fostering adaptive, inclusive livelihoods within sustainable ecosystems.

Bolivia faces significant climate change challenges, with increased floods, droughts, frosts, and forest fires threatening numerous municipalities and the opportunities for their residents’ future. To confront these issues, we focus on enhancing the resilience of vulnerable areas through tailored strategies for risk management and climate adaptation. Collaboration lies at the heart of our approach, enabling us to deepen our environmental understanding and empower local communities to tackle these challenges effectively.

Additionally, we forge partnerships with public and private stakeholders across various levels to promote practical, inclusive, and nature-based solutions rooted in local knowledge. We aim to influence positive changes in public policies and practices. By integrating these strategies into rural and peri-urban community plans, we aim to safeguard the most vulnerable populations from diverse climate risks, fostering community resilience and empowerment.

By 2025, 40,000 people will be more resilient by strengthening the livelihoods of people, organizations and institutions that implement positive, inclusive and equitable climate actions at the local level within the framework of national regulations. Early warning systems, anticipatory actions and resilient practices drive the protection of their livelihoods and efficiently manage their resources under a watershed approach.
