Climate Action for Smallholders - CASH Coalition

The CASH Coalition (Climate Action for Smallholders) is a bold collaborative initiative, working to help millions of smallholder farmers in the Global South transition to regenerative farming practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and strengthen livelihood resilience.

We are a Coalition of thirteen leading agricultural social enterprises with deep, trusted relationships in smallholder farming communities in over a dozen countries across four continents. We collaborate in developing a portfolio of scalable and profitable regenerative farming practices that are scientifically validated, financially viable, and measurably impactful for livelihoods and as climate solutions.

We work directly with 9 million land managers in smallholder, indigenous, and local communities who collectively steward 16 million hectares of land. We aim to make regenerative agriculture and climate solutions profitable for smallholders and strengthen farmers’ participation in climate financing markets.

The Coalition works to accelerate the smallholder transition to regenerative agriculture and sustainable land management to enhance resilience and livelihoods while advancing local ecosystem restoration and climate change mitigation. We focus on creating enabling conditions that are challenging for individual organizations to address in isolation and impossible for farmers to shift. We support innovative and trusted organizations that serve farmers across diverse contexts and who work to create value for people (families), nature (local ecosystems, soil, biodiversity), and climate (carbon removal, emissions reduction).
