Feed the Future Private Sector Engagement in Climate Smart Agriculture

A devastating outbreak of coffee leaf rust has affected 50 percent of coffee growers in Honduras, wiping out coffee production for thousands of farmers.

Three linked Feed the Future Initiatives are engaging the private sector in supporting small farmers to adapt to climate change: FtF Learning Community for Supply Chain Resilience, Climate Smart Cocoa and the Alliance for Resilient Coffee. These three initiatives increase private sector engagement through the creation of climate tools, pre-competitive learning and collective action.

Across the developing world, the absence of capital and the lack of tools and access to sound information combined with limited levels of basic skills in agronomy, financial management, climate adaptation and mitigation continues to exclude the rural poor from capturing the benefits from the formal economy. Supporting smallholder farmers, their communities and actors along the value chain adapt to imminent climate related shocks will require a holistic approach that engages development practitioners, financial institutions, researchers, and public and private sector players. USAID’s innovative BAA mechanism supported the development of these three linked consortia to unlock private sector – specifically, global and local agribusiness – engagement in building the resilience of smallholder supply chains; and strengthen USAID’s capacity to stimulate investment and effectively partner with the private sector.
