In the last six months, millions of column inches have been dedicated to the topic of climate change, but we still hear very little from the people dealing with it on the frontline, small-scale rural farmers and producers who are fighting persistent droughts, frequent floods and rising sea levels on a daily basis. With COP27 just 7 months away, we hear first-hand from food activists and chefs, climate journalists and the farmers themselves about why they should be part of the climate change conversation and how to raise their visibility, in the media in particular. The event will also feature IFAD’s Recipes for Change, a creative series that brings to light how farmers are adapting to the changing climate through the food they grow and the recipes they cook, and the solutions they bring.
