This event is within the framework of ILC’s Commitment-based Initiative 2 (CBI 2), Strong small-scale farming systems. CBI 2 is about ensuring “equitable land distribution and public investment that supports small scale farming systems, including through redistributive agrarian reforms that counter excessive land concentration, provide for secure and equitable use and control of land, and allocate appropriate land to landless rural producers and urban residents, while supporting smallholders as investors and producers, such as through cooperative and partnership business models”.
Objectives
The regional event will gather family farming stakeholders to discuss critical approaches and sustainable innovations for small-scale family farming.
At the end of the activity participants should be able to:
1. Recognize the advocacy strategies and innovations that have successfully enabled men, women and young farmers address their challenges, whilst contributing to sustainable food systems transformation;
2. Understand the factors that can affect sustainability and economic viability of small-scale farming in today’s context; and
3. Identify lessons and prospects for building smallholder farmers’ resilience.
A synthesis document will be produced out of the case studies that will be presented. This document will support the design and development of programs and interventions at the local level.
Participants
Farmers, civil society organizations, government officials, researchers, and donors.
This regional learning exchange event is organized by AFA, AR Now, and ILC Asia.
