In sub-Saharan Africa, TechnoServe is working to create new industries and incomes from products typically discarded as waste during cashew and coffee processing.

Join TechnoServe in celebrating Earth Day with stories of climate resilience from our work in Africa, India, and Latin America. Take our quiz to test your knowledge on how climate change impacts smallholder farmers, then read stories about some of the small-scale producers who are using training from TechnoServe to improve their climate resilience and their lives.

For the world’s smallholder farmers, climate change is not a distant threat but a current reality. Learn five ways climate change is impacting these farmers’ livelihoods and what TechnoServe is doing to help them persevere despite immense challenges.

Farmers in developing countries face growing threats from climate change, such as unpredictable weather patterns and more crop diseases and pests. Take our quiz to find out how much you know about how our changing climate is impacting these farmers, and how they are improving their resilience.

In this series, we check back with TechnoServe program participants who were previously featured on our blog, documenting how their lives have changed and progressed.

In partnership with Wehubit, TechnoServe is implementing the CajùLab project to promote farmer adoption of climate-smart agricultural (CSA) practices using emerging digital solutions, such as drones and machine learning.

A corporate partnership training farmers in Madhya Pradesh, India, on climate-smart agricultural techniques was just named “Best Economic Empowerment Program”.

Through the ResCA program, cattle ranchers in Nicaragua are learning techniques to improve resilience to climate threats.

In Ethiopia, wild coffee thrives under dense forest canopies. Since 2018, TechnoServe has been working with Partnerships for Forests to support the farmers who grow this coffee, and the diverse habitats they rely on for their livelihoods.
