BookletWorld Agriculture Watch Programme proposal
Guiding investment to transform family farms
2019Also available in:
World Agriculture Watch (WAW) is proposing to implement a harmonized methodological framework to establish coherent global and local information systems, which will provide suitable information on the structure and performance of these diverse farms. It will then be possible to develop data sets to better target investment and policy frameworks. The performance of the farms is assessed using indicators and variables aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). National and regional family-farmer platforms will be key implementing partners and will benefit from these information systems. The proposed WAW programme is made up of two components: country-specific projects and a global family farm mapping project, which will include sex-disaggregated data (SDG 5). These information tools will contribute to the implementation of the United Nations (UN) Decade of Family Farming (2019-28). Country projects will be undertaken in 21 countries. WAW will provide all beneficiaries with: (1) a methodological framework based on an adaptable core set of variables and indicators, with sex-disaggregated data; (2) guidelines and capacity-building training to develop national agricultural observatory systems, and (3) access to WAW’s global networks and partner organizations. As part of its global family farm mapping project, WAW will amalgamate existing data sets with new data gleaned from country-level activities, channelled to the initiative via the networks of WAW’s global partners. The project will provide an overview of the transformational changes underway in the global landscape of family farms for the UN Decade of Family Farming. -

Book (stand-alone)United Nations Decade of Family Farming 2019-2028 - Global Action Plan 2019Agriculture today faces increasing pressure to provide sufficient, affordable and nutritious food for a growing population, cope with climate change and the degradation of natural resources, including water scarcity, soil depletion, and biodiversity loss. Pervasive inequalities between rural and urban areas have led to an unprecedented level of urbanization. To feed the world and do it sustainably, an urgent and radical shift in our food systems is necessary. To be effective, transformative actions must address a complex set of interconnected objectives encompassing economic, social and environmental dimensions. Family farmers are at the heart of this issue. They provide the majority of the world’s food, are the major investors in agriculture and the backbone of the rural economic structure. The Global Action Plan of the UNDFF provides detailed guidance for the international community on collective, coherent and comprehensive actions that can be taken to support family farmers. It outlines a comprehensive approach to support efforts to achieve the SDGs, in the context of the progressive realization of the Right to Adequate Food. Designed around seven mutually reinforcing pillars of work, the Global Action Plan recommends a series of interconnected actions from the local to the global level. Any interventions developed during the decade must always consider the diversity of family farmers. They should be context-specific, adapted to regional, national, local socio-cultural and socio-economic conditions. To guarantee the success of the UNDFF, all actions should place family farmers at the center and be implemented through bottom-up, participatory and inclusive processes.
