Project Dandelion

Women grow much of the world’s food 🌱

They manage risk, hold communities together, and are shaping climate-resilient agriculture — yet their work is still overlooked and underfunded.

This year, we mark the International Year of Women Farmers: a moment to turn visibility into real support. From Kenya to Ethiopia to South Sudan, women-led communities show what’s possible when resources reach the ground.

At #COP30, we’re calling on those in power to recognise a truth. Adaptation is already happening, and it’s led by women and smallholder farmers 🌾Investing in them is investing in global food security. It’s time leaders at COP30 understand how much women smallholders give and how little they get.

Hope is on the move, straight to the heart of the Amazon.

As COP30 begins in Belém, Project Dandelion is calling for:
💛 Moral courage from leaders
💛 Investment where impact is greatest
💛 A COP that centers women, Indigenous Peoples, youth & frontline communities

We’re hosting conversations on culture, adaptation, and leadership — and it’s all live on our new COP30 Hub: projectdandelion.live

Tune in, follow along, and help us carry hope forward.
