We just received an update from Pawan who leads our work with the Pahariya community - featured in this year's Christmas appeal. He said,

"In the last few weeks many farmers have signed up to become shareholders in the Farmer Producer Company. The interest is bigger than we imagined - but the pressure is on.

Heavy rains in late October were followed by major pest problems for many farmers - we're looking to support them however we can. Setbacks hurt progress - we must protect the FPC and respond together."

For farmers in the Pahariya community - just to be seen as an equal in the world of trade has felt like an impossible task.

But we've worked with them to set up the Farmer Producer Company (FPC) - a producer-owned business that is already securing better prices for farmers and spreading good practice in the area.

As with all new businesses - these early days are crucial. This FPC - designed with fair trade in its bones - is full of potential. But before it grows, it is fragile.

After over 1,500 Transform Trade supporters contacted their MP to demand fairness for smallholder farmers in upcoming UK deforestation legislation, we've taken the next step in our Don't Cut Out Smallholders campaign.⁠
⁠
Alongside Fairtrade Foundation, we have written to Mary Creagh MP, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs - outlining our concerns with UKFRC regulations and our recommendations on how they can be changed to benefit smallholder farmers.⁠
⁠
We need rules that protect forests and support farmers. That means governments and companies must invest in farmers through training and resources, guaranteeing fair prices, giving farmers control of their data, and ensuring their voices are heard in decision-making spaces. ⁠

GOOD NEWS for Kenyan farmers and BAD NEWS for UPOV91!⁠
⁠
A huge victory for food security, smallholder farmers, and the basic right to share seeds.⁠
⁠
The High Court of Kenya has ruled in favour of smallholder farmers, effectively decriminalising the age-old practice of saving, sharing, and exchanging indigenous seeds.⁠

Thanks to your support of our Regenerators Appeal, where eligible donations were matched pound for pound by the UK government, three years ago, we began collaborating with communities of farmers in the Pwani region of Tanzania, who are particularly vulnerable to climate change.

Now they are seeing the fruits of their labour - benefiting from sustainable technologies, climate-resilient farming techniques, and new business ventures. Read more: https://www.transform-trade.org/blog/adapting-to-climate-change-and-protecting-local-ecosystems-in-pwani-region-tanzania

We’re working with indigenous Pahariya communities in Jharkhand, India, helping farmers to grow their incomes and introduce climate-resilient farming.

Together this effective, community-based support costs approximately £21.28 per household – will you help farmers transform their futures through trade this Christmas? https://www.transform-trade.org/christmas

This includes training farmers in livestock husbandry, reintroducing traditional crops, business management skills and preserving quality seeds, as well as helping farmers enrol with social security schemes.

2️⃣We need your support next week to take full advantage of the opportunity

Over the years, this single day of combined generosity has become a powerful force for good. This year we're inviting you to be part of it once again - and to help us make it the biggest yet.
