This document was prepared based on a series of virtual dialogues (described in further detail
in the following section) with small farmers and fisher peoples. The sub-thematic small farmers
and fisher peoples dialogue had two complimentary aims. The first was to incorporate small
farmers and fisher peoples’ voices, ideas, and aspirations into the overall CCM research and
action agenda. The second was to inform the broader field of research and practice concerning
the mental health of farmers and fisher people in relation to climate change. This dialogue served
as a safe space for understanding and validating the climate and mental health impacts on small
farmers and fisher people of diverse backgrounds, disciplines, and geographies. The dialogues
also aimed to expand the participation of community members, including small farmers and
fisher peoples, in research and policy processes. This focused area of the project leveraged
participatory-based research approaches to identify available mental health resources and
unmet needs within the context of climate change for these groups.
