This WEF article emphasizes the critical role farmers play in creating sustainable food systems. Drawing on experiences from India, it highlights how public-private partnerships (PPPs) effectively promote sustainable agriculture. Initiatives such as the Food Action Alliance and the First Movers Coalition for Food demonstrate collaborative support for farmers adopting climate-smart practices. The article stresses the importance of equipping farmers with resilience, resources, and rewards to manage challenges like climate change and market volatility. By implementing financial tools like parametric micro-insurance and encouraging crop diversification, stakeholders can empower farmers to spearhead a new green revolution. These efforts align closely with global agendas at forums like the UN Food Systems Summit and COP30, striving towards a sustainable agricultural future.
