Small-scale farmers around the world are bearing the brunt of climate change. Fair Trade promote best agricultural practices, which guide producers in adapting to climate change. For example, converting to organic production can be challenging for farmers but making the switch means they can often earn a higher price for their crop, and for some they can become more resilient to environmental shock.
