Webinar | Creating Resilient Supply Networks: Partnering With Small-Scale Farmers
WATCH THE VIDEO RECORDING FROM THIS WEBINAR HERE.
WHEN: 1-2pm EDT December 7
OVERVIEW: Climate change is already affecting companies’ supply chains overseas, and these impacts are only expected to worsen. In order to cultivate supply networks that are resilient in a changing climate, we need to stand with small farmers and support the regenerative organic agriculture practices that boost climate resilience on the farm. What are businesses doing to support growers in their supply networks on the frontlines of climate change?
Join us to talk about how coffee importers are supporting growers, about fair trade businesses that are working to support the resilience of smallholder farmers in their supply networks, and about how crowdfunding can support and enhance such initiatives.
