  • About Climate Change Project
    We want to bring together information from rural communities, indigenous peoples and research workers on how they use agrobiodiversity to cope with climate change; to stimulate communication between agrobiodiversity researchers, users and maintainers; to identify tools and practices relevant to the use of agrobiodiversity for coping with climate change and making these widely available. Many of the project’s activities take place on and via the Agrobiodiversity and Climate Change project website and aim at gathering experiences, knowledge and information on worldwide projects dealing with the strategies in agricultural practices used by rural and indigenous communities who are facing the challenges of climate change.
