Improving Livelihoods
The Global Challenge
Smallholder farmers are the backbone of the coffee and cocoa sectors, yet many struggle to secure sustainable livelihoods.
Over 25 million coffee farms are operated by smallholders (ICO), some of which face poverty, volatile markets, and limited access to food and resources. In many cases, producers don’t have sufficient land, income, or time to grow food for their families, leading to persistent food insecurity. Strengthening livelihoods is key to ensuring both economic resilience and social sustainability across global supply chains.
4C Solutions
4C’s solutions combine practical tools with field-level action, giving farmers the means to strengthen their incomes, improve food security, and build long-term resilience.
Food Security Add-On
Our Food Security Add-On helps assess household food access and promotes strategies to ensure that farming families have reliable access to safe, nutritious food, resulting in improved well-being and long-term resilience.
