“Climate change is a threat we live with on a daily basis,” shared Jenipher Sambazi, a coffee farmer in Uganda and face of the Welsh coffee brand ‘Jenipher’s Coffi’ while meeting Teleri Fielden, who farms in the Snowdonia National Park in north Wales.
Teleri, who also works as a Policy Officer for the Farmers’ Union of Wales shared, "As two farmers from mountainous areas, despite producing very different products, we face many common challenges - and there’s a lot that we can learn from one another. Unpredictable incomes and changing weather, including new and more severe threats of pests are shared challenges for farmers from Wales to Uganda.”
