Family Farmers’ Review of the First 5 Years and the Path Towards Sustainable and Resilient Food Systems
Assessment of the First Five Years and Recommendations for the Second Half of the United Nations Decade of Family Farming 2019-2028 (UNDFF)
This document underscores the significance of the UNDFF as a unique tool for supporting family farmers and their vital role in enhancing the sustainability and resilience of food systems. Elaborated by the World Rural Forum (WRF) through a participatory process, it provides an overview of the first five years of UNDFF implementation in collaboration with various family farming organizations from five continents (AFA, PDRR, COPROFAM, PROPAC, ROPPA, PIFON). These organizations are deeply involved in promoting and implementing the Decade. The conclusions of the VIII Global Conference of the WRF, held in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, in March 2024 are also included in this document.
Achievements of the United Nations Decade of Family Farming 2029-2028 (UNDFF)
During these five years of UNDFF implementation, significant progress has been achieved for family farmers and the organizations representing them. Family farmers’ organizations and their members have gained broader recognition as key agents in the transformation toward sustainable and resilient food systems. This progress has increased their visibility and established their importance across various political and social platforms, where they have been prominently featured in major global discussions on food systems transformation, the climate crisis, and addressing inequalities.
