Putting Family Farmers at the Centre to achieve the SDGs

Delivering sustainable economic growth
Jun 05, 2019 | FAO

In developed and developing countries, family and farm represent a unity that co-evolves, fulfilling economic, environmental, social and cultural functions within territorial networks. The FAO has developed a Global Action Plan to provide guidance on coherent collective  actions in support of family farmers. This FAO paper outlines an approach to support efforts to achieve the SDGs in the context of the UN Decade of Family Farming 2019-2028 (UNDFF) and the realization of the Right to Adequate Food. Designed around seven mutually reinforcing pillars, it recommends interconnected actions extending from the local to the global level.
