Synopsis (short abstract) The goals of poverty eradication and of promoting sustainable patterns of consumption and production constitute the overarching framework and the rationale of the new global development agenda. In this context, FAO restates its commitment to achieving these goals, while sustaining the legacy of the International Year of Family Farming, through its strategic goal of reducing rural poverty in support to of family farmers and smallholder agriculture. As part of the strategy, it is fundamental to re cognize global and regional structural transformations and related policy trends in the field of family farming, as well as partnerships with key players influencing regional and national processes. The workshop “Support to Family farming and small scale agriculture to achieve rural poverty reduction. Opportunities and priorities to Strengthen FAO Regional Initiatives” will focus on assessing the trends in family farming and debating the strategy and achievements of the three FAO Regional Initia tives (RIs) related to family farming and smallholders. It will assess the impacts and gaps in FAO’s assistance to countries, identifying areas of focus to scale up the work at the policy level and promote the collaboration across regions to improve results.

    FAO Regional Initiative: Empowering smallholders and strengthening family farms for improved rural livelihoods and poverty reduction in Europe and Central Asia 2016

    Since the land reforms of the 1990s, dualistic farm structures characterize the landscape of most transition countries in Europe and Central Asia, with large numbers of small subsistence and semi commercial family farms. Poverty, social vulnerability and other difficulties could prevent rural communities from fulfilling their role as important building blocks of food security. By enhancing productivity and income levels through sustainable intensification of production, better organization, ade quate services and integration into agrifood value chains, this Regional Initiative can contribute to the global goals of eradicating rural poverty and achieving food security and sustainable growth. Activities focus on sustainable management of agricultural land and water resources; sustainable intensification of smallholders’ production; strengthening the organizations of small producers and family farms; and enhancing access to rural services – such as advisory services and micro-loans.

    Study on small-scale family farming in the Near East and North Africa region. Synthesis 2017
    Also available in:
    This report provides an overview of a study conducted in the NENA region in 2015-2016 in partnership with FAO, CIRAD, CIHEAM-IAMM and six national teams, each of which prepared a national report. In the six countries under review in the NENA region (Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, Mauritania, Sudan and Tunisia), agriculture is carried out primarily by small-scale family farmers, the majority of whom run the risk of falling into the poverty trap, largely due to the continuous fragmentation of inherited landholdings. As such, the development of small-scale family farming can no longer be based solely on intensifying agriculture, as the farmers are not able to produce sufficient marketable surplus due to the limited size of their landholdings. An approach based strictly on agricultural activity is also insufficient (as small-scale family farms have already diversified their livelihoods with off-farm activities). In fact, developing small-scale farming cannot be achieved by focusing strictly on t he dimension of production.

    Renewed attention has recently been given to the importance (and the position) of small-scale family farms through the International Year of Family Farms (IYFF). However, public policies are deficient, investments are lacking, and many of the 500 million smallholder farmers receive little to no support. Standard typologies that distinguish “commercial farmers”, “part-time farmers” (in transition, and on their way out) and “subsistence farmers” miss the point of the complexity of farming liveliho ods, in which particularly the large group of latter category is actually active in various markets. Influential policy perspectives focus on the insertion of small-scale family farmers in (global) value chains as an important way to promote rural development, and consequently reducing rural poverty. This study argues that such “one-size-fits-all” approach should be looked at critically, as the results have been mixed, at best. Although the integration of smallholders into global value chains i s promoted to enhance their competitiveness and market access, these value chains may not actually engage many of these rural producers, and may end up being exclusionary. A broader approach is needed to also address inequalities in land rights and empower poor rural people through strengthening their organizations and meeting the calls for the promotion of inclusive and sustainable rural development processes through renewed forms of collaboration between the State, the market and civil society , and in particular by promoting rural poverty reduction through broader rural territorial development.
