    An In-Depth Review of the Evolution of Integrated Public Policies to Strengthen Family Farms in Brazil

    From 2003, the Zero Hunger Program and subsequently, in 2011, the Brazil Without Poverty Plan, marked a deliberate convergence of the purposes and actions focused on farmers and family farmers in Brazil. This allowed simultaneous access to social policies and polices focused on agriculture and livestock activities, through a permanent set of public policies, such as rural credit, climate and income insurance, technical assistance and commercialization. This happened in parallel to affirmative ac tions related to gender, ethnicity and rural youth. To deal with such complex themes such as eradicating hunger and extreme poverty, the Federal Government began to integrate traditionally independent actions and programs. The creation of institutional markets focused on family farming, such as the Program for Purchase of Food (PAA) and the National Program for School Meals (PNAE), is an example of combining public policies, such as social assistance, education, agriculture and land development. The creation of this integrated program was only made possible by the coordination and the strong commitment towards joint efforts by federal ministries and bodies, as well as the effective participation of state and municipal governments. The constant presence of organized civil society, with its councils and forums, and of the organized movements in the rural, helped to correct and increase the actions, and conferring legitimacy to the programs.

    A learning framework for inclusive, integrated and innovative public policy cycles for family farming 2023
    Also available in:

    Public policies for family farming – when done appropriately – provide a perfect match between different policy areas related to productive, economic, social, environmental and cultural dimensions of sustainable food systems. The Learning framework for inclusive, integrated and innovative public policy cycles for family farming was developed under the framework of the United Nations Decade of Family Farming (2019–2028) to support policymakers, family farmers’ organizations and other relevant stakeholders to increase their understanding of public policy cycles and family farming related policies. This technical and methodological capacity development programme is adaptable to local, national or regional priorities. It offers a holistic perspective to building knowledge and capacity of the various actors involved in the design, implementation and review of effective and coherent policies and programmes. This learning framework responds to the needs of multiple actors, expressed during the UNDFF pre-consultation process, to identify ways to create truly effective and efficient policy frameworks for family farming, and to better engage and participate during policy processes. To provide an appropriate answer to these needs the learning framework was designed through a participatory process building on the experience of governments and family farmers’ organizations, researchers and UN staff, gathering inputs from all relevant actors around the world.

    The United Nations Decade of Family Farming 2019-28 (UNDFF) aims at promoting integrated actions and cross-sectoral policies to advance family farming. It recognizes Rural Communication Services as key elements and assets to be developed and promoted as an integral part of family farming and sustainable food systems. Rural Communication Services (RCS) include a wide range of communication processes, activities, media applications, and institutional arrangements to respond to the communication needs of family farmers and the rural population in an inclusive and sustainable manner. The presentation on “Rural Communication Services milestones” will showcase the results of multiple efforts made to mainstream RCS into family farming policies and programmes during the first five years of the implementation of the UNDFF. More specifically it will focus on flagship products and activities carried out with partner institutions and organizations.
