The Small Farmers Climate Adaptation Fund (SMAF), managed by Add-Value, has joined the Initiative 20X20 as a financial partner. The Initiative 20×20 is a country-led effort seeking to change the dynamics of land degradation in Latin America and the Caribbean by bringing 20 million hectares of land into restoration by 2020 and 50 million hectares by 2030. Financial partners of Initiative 20×20, including impact investors and private companies, act as agents of change in the region by supporting innovative projects that offer social and environmental improvements with financial returns. This group is supporting the expansion of restoration across Latin America and the Caribbean by tapping into the market value of restoration products. The initiative is supported by more than 70 technical organizations and institutions and a coalition of impact investors and private funds deploying US$2.5 billion in private investment. https://initiative20x20.org/partners/small-farmers-climate-adaptation-fund-smaf
