Four-fifths of these losses have to be borne by smallholder families. Climate change has exacerbated the drought disasters in north-eastern Brazil. Under the pressure of these events, the Brazilian state of Pernambuco has adopted a program for &#8220;sustainable living in drought conditions&#8221;.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Methods and strategies incorporated into the programme<\/strong><br \/>\nThe programme incorporates many methods and strategies that our partner organization Centro Sabia and organized farmers have been calling for for years. For our partner organization Centro Sabia, this is a huge success in their fight for sustainable agriculture in Brazil. The political pressure and lobbying work have paid off.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Centro Sabia played a key role in the process<\/strong><br \/>\nThe program was developed in a broad-based process in which representatives of Centro Sabia played a key role. The objectives of the political program, which have now been enshrined in law, include a right to access to water, climate monitoring, environmental education (education on sustainable lifestyles), agricultural technical advisors and support for smallholder family farming. <\/p>\n<p><strong>For a sustainable and dignified life for smallholder families<\/strong><br \/>\nOur project partner Centro Sabia has been working with farmers&#8217; associations and the national network of organizations in Semiarid Brazil (Articulacao de Semi Arido &#8211; ASA) for decades. The aim of the cooperation is to develop and disseminate strategies and ecological farming methods for a sustainable and dignified life for smallholder families.
