FFORA

FFORA is hosted by the Swiss Philanthropy Foundation. It provides technical support to farmers organisations & Indigenous Peoples organisations and brokers investment in them.

Just 0.3% of international climate finance goes to family farmers who produce a third of the world’s food. This limited funding lacks an agile and responsive mechanism designed by, and to reach, local farmers and Indigenous Peoples.

The funds need to be designed and accessed by farmers and Indigenous Peoples themselves, to channel investment into climate resilient farming systems, especially in under utilised tree and crop species.

Our vision

A new model of climate and agricultural policies, funds, and investments with an increase in public and private finance flows directly to farmers organisations for a just and biodiverse climate transition.

Our mission

Support farmers organisations, including indigenous peoples, to influence public & private policies, and accelerate finance flows to their members that value their roles and rights.

Our objective

Improved recognition, capacity and engagement of farmers organisations to influence climate and agricultural policies and financial decisions leading to increased funding directly to farmers organisations for regenerative and nature-based practices.

Improved livelihoods driven by organised farmer groups with farmer-led climate resilient rural enterprises based on the adoption of regenerative/agroecological farming practices, especially with under-utilised species.

Enhanced financial empowerment and climate resilience of farmers organisations through improved direct access to, and management of, public and private climate finance and investments.
