Agriculture and forestry are central to the implementation of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Smallholders play an important role in this: nearly 60% of food production is produced by smallholders (<20 ha) many of whom are vulnerable to climate change. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have an important role to play in making smallholder agriculture and forestry economically viable. Smallholders and SMEs are, therefore, essential actors in any strategy that aims at sustainability and climate resilience in landscapes. They need finance to be able to shift towards more sustainable practices. At the same time, less than 3% of climate and conservation finance is assigned to agriculture and forestry and only a small proportion of ODA and climate finance reaches smallholders and SMEs.
