We work with farming communities, local governments and environmental organisations to strengthen food security, protect ecosystems and reduce vulnerability to droughts, floods and other climate shocks.
Erratic rainfall, prolonged drought, flooding, soil degradation and rising temperatures are affecting food security and household livelihoods now — not in some distant future.
Smallholder farmers and rural communities are often among the least responsible for global emissions, yet they face some of the most immediate and severe consequences.
We support communities to improve agricultural productivity, conserve natural resources and plan for a more uncertain climate.
Our approaches combine traditional knowledge with modern science — from water-efficient farming and agroforestry to reforestation, disaster-risk reduction and renewable energy access.
Partner on Climate Resilience →Our climate work addresses the systems that rural communities depend on most.
Water-efficient, soil-healthy and productivity-enhancing techniques for smallholder farmers.
Integrating trees and crops to protect soil, water and farm productivity.
Restoring degraded land, protecting biodiversity and strengthening local stewardship.
Irrigation, rainwater harvesting and conservation approaches for increasingly variable rainfall.
Community preparation and planning for drought, flood and other climate-related shocks.
Solar and clean-energy options for rural and off-grid communities.
Helping households maintain access to nutritious food through climate-resilient production.
Supporting communities to identify climate risks and shape locally relevant adaptation strategies.
OAF’s climate initiatives are designed to improve resilience while protecting the economic foundations communities depend on.
Farmer training and field support introduce improved planting methods, soil conservation, diversified cropping and post-harvest management in drought-prone and flood-affected areas.
Community-led reforestation and environmental conservation combines tree planting and forest management with seedling production that can also generate income.
Irrigation and rainwater-harvesting systems help communities manage scarce or unpredictable water resources more effectively.
Communities identify climate risks and develop their own practical adaptation strategies around livelihoods, land and water.
The goal is resilience that can be seen in stronger farms, healthier ecosystems, more reliable food systems and better local preparedness.
Farmers use practices that protect soil, water and productivity under changing conditions.
Households are better able to maintain food production despite climate pressure.
Reforestation and conservation improve local natural-resource resilience.
Communities are more able to anticipate, withstand and recover from climate shocks.
We collaborate with communities, governments, development agencies, environmental organisations and private-sector partners on practical climate adaptation and sustainable agriculture.
