Farmers in low-income countries are one of the groups most at risk from the effects of climate change. This event focuses on the vital role that agricultural adaptation will play in response to climate change, and as an integral part of sustainable economic development in a post-COVID world. Panellists discuss the challenges that farmers face in adapting to grow more diverse and climate-resilient crops, and some of the solutions that can help overcome them.
