PARIS — Thandiwe Chidararume, who farms sweet potatoes, nuts and corn in Zimbabwe, traveled nearly 5,000 miles to be in Paris for the U.N. climate change conference. She wanted to tell negotiators there of the problems she and thousands of other Zimbabwean farmers face due to adverse weather conditions.
For the past couple of years, her crops have gotten either too much rain or not enough. That has meant no money at market and no income to support her three children.
