Synopsis (short abstract) Family farming registries are a fundamental tool in order to facilitate the effective and efficient implementation of public policies targeting family farmers, their productive units and their organizations. Registries are not an end in and of themselves, but a means for improving the implementation of these policies. Nevertheless, to improve policies, this tool must be developed in the best possible manner, that is, by obtaining relevant, quality data for public policies and programmes. This guide aims to steer and encourage the creation of family farming registers based on recommendations on the planning, design and implementation processes, and to warn of some risks and red flags that ought to be taken into account when developing registers. It is underpinned by a review and analysis of some experiences and lessons learned in several Latin American countries. As a result, this guide’s approach is practical and operational, and it aims to facilitate design and implementation by decision-makers worldwide, in particular those who are in the stages of designing and formulating policies aimed at family farming within processes of planning at various scales, or who are simply planning actions intended to improve family farming or collaborating in public policy implementation, monitoring and assessment processes. It is also aimed at all public actors already involved in family farming register design or development processes and allows them to construct useful information assets for public policy management.

    This report underscores the critical importance of family farming in ensuring sustainable agriculture, food security, and rural development in Türkiye. Family farming contributes significantly to biodiversity conservation, cultural heritage preservation, and the production of nutritious food. However, challenges such as climate change, declining natural resources, and insufficient market access threaten its sustainability.Drawing on global initiatives like the International Year of Family Farming (2014) and the UN Decade of Family Farming (2019–2028), this report highlights Türkiye's efforts, including the Türkiye Family Farming Plan and Action Plan (2014–2018). It emphasizes the need for a participatory and interdisciplinary approach to address key issues, such as supporting small-scale enterprises, integrating technological innovations, and fostering youth involvement.The report advocates for robust policy frameworks that promote sustainable practices, financial inclusion, and social protection for family farmers. It outlines strategic priorities, including rural development, risk management, and climate resilience, to guide the preparation of a comprehensive National Action Plan for Türkiye. By placing family farming at the core of its agricultural policies, Türkiye can contribute to transforming global food systems and achieving the ambitions of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

    Guided by the Global Action Plan of the United Nations Decade of Family Farming 2019-2028, this publication looks into ways that legislation can best support policy processes aimed at advancing family farming’s contribution to the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals. The publication aims to present some of the laws and regulations relevant to family farming to determine the features that can most positively benefit family farmers while providing information and experiences from different parts of the globe for decision-makers and practitioners. The objective not being to provide prescriptions for how to regulate family farming, but rather to present different options to decision-makers, thereby facilitating their appreciation of the complexity of existing legislative and regulatory frameworks that underpin family farming and empowering them for the design of supportive approaches best suited to their respective national context. With the multisectorality of family farming at its core and mindful of family farmers’ overwhelming contribution to nutritiously and sustainably feed the world, this publication analyses legislative processes in 12 different areas that are conducive to the agri-food systems transformation for a better production, better environment, better nutrition and better life for all, leaving no one behind.
