This session explores five complementary financial pathways that enable smallholders and local communities to access finance for restoration, sustainable production and value-added enterprises. Building on FAO and partners’ work under the Supporting AFR100 program and the Forest and Farm Facility (FFF), we will illustrate how internal savings, supply-chain agreements, commercial credit and blended finance can be linked through forest and farm producer organizations (FFPOs) as trusted intermediaries.
Drawing on their experiences, speakers will show how derisking, aggregation and value chain integration can unlock inclusive investment in rural landscapes and drive climate-positive growth.
