Live Streaming: The Smallholder Dilemma - Balancing Nature and Livelihoods
You are invited to the YouTube Premiere of the panel discussion "The Smallholder Dilemma: Balancing Nature and Livelihoods".
"The Smallholder Dilemma: Balancing Nature and Livelihoods" was recorded within the framework of the Hamburg Sustainability Week. The recording will premiere on YouTube as a live event.
This event explores the intersection of biodiversity, economic growth, and food security in coffee-producing regions. It focuses on how smallholder families can benefit from integrating sustainable farming practices that preserve biodiversity while improving their livelihoods.
The session begins with a keynote from Martin Frick, Director of the Global Office WFP Berlin. An expert panel including Martin Frick, Pablo von Waldenfels, Director Corporate Responsibility at Tchibo; Morgan Mkonyi, HRNS Co-Country Manager for Tanzania; and Olaf Tschimpke, former President of the Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU), delves deeper into the topic.
The experts address the issue from farmer, industry, and ecological perspectives. They engage in a lively debate on how smallholder families can both protect the environment and increase economic returns, examining key questions about market pressures, technological solutions, and policy frameworks.
This event shapes a collective vision for a more sustainable coffee sector that empowers smallholder families and strengthens long-term food security and ecological resilience.
