Two decades of empowering small-scale women and men farmers in Asia – a milestone that the Asian Farmers’ Association for Sustainable Rural Development (AFA) has attained this 2022 and will be continuously pursuing for the years to come. To commemorate this, the organization will be conducting a series of events from October 18 to 22, 2022 in Metro Manila, Philippines.
With the theme “Forward, Family Farmers, for a Healthy People and Planet,” AFA will hold its 10th General Assembly and 20th Anniversary Celebration during the five-day event series in Golden Phoenix Hotel, Pasay City, Philippines. Co-hosted by the Philippine Family Farmers’ Agriculture Fishery Forestry Cooperatives Federation (AgriCOOPh) and Pambansang Kilusan ng mga Samahan ng mga Magsasaka (PAKISAMA), the event series will be in hybrid modality, as guests who cannot join in person can still attend via Zoom.
Representatives from different organizations across Asia will be attending the five-day event series, which includes:
- October 18 a.m.: Women and Young Farmers Committees’ Meeting
- October 18 p.m.: Regional Learning Exchange on Biopesticides and Digital Agriculture, in a hybrid format
