With the acceleration of climate change, biodiversity loss and the degradation of natural ecosystems, more than ever, time is for action. How can we support farmers and rural communities whose source of income directly depends on natural resources, climate, soil, water? Which agricultural models can feed a growing global population that will reach 9.7 billion by 2050? Which models can generate a decent living income to farmers and contribute to reduce carbon impact while regenerating soils, biodiversity and water resources?
Since 2011, the Livelihoods Funds have been acting on the ground to support the efforts of rural and agricultural communities to restore the foundations of our home, the Earth. We have been working hand in hand with local organizations in all continents, to foster farming practices that have a positive impact on people, nature and climate. We do it with one conviction: no-one can address these complex challenges alone! Livelihoods track record is based on partnerships and operational coalitions between farmers and their organizations, international brands and local businesses, public organizations and governments, who are engaged in the transformation of their value chain.
After more than 10 years of successful partnerships supporting nature-based solutions in diverse geographies (Asia, Africa, Latin America & Europe), it is now time to move up a gear! Are you convinced that climate, nature and peoples’ livelihoods are strongly interlinked? Are you ready to put your boots on the ground and excited to develop and manage solutions that deliver impact? Are you motivated to play a leading role in building and running stakeholders coalitions?
