Sustainable agriculture

Sustainable agriculture
07.02.2021
The world’s population is growing, and although agriculture must produce enough food for everyone, it must not place additional burdens on the environment. And of course, smallholder farmers should earn a living wage from their work. To help find a solution to these problems, Swisscontact is working to make agriculture more sustainable on three levels: economically, environmentally, and socially.
 
Sustainable agriculture: pathways to resilient livelihoods, nutrition security and a healthy environment
Agriculture is under pressure worldwide. Climate change, soil degradation, and market imbalances threaten the livelihoods of millions. A strong, inclusive agricultural sector is essential for stable incomes and food security. Swisscontact is committed to forward-looking solutions that help smallholder farms become more productive, climate-resilient, and environmentally friendly.
