Synopsis (short abstract) Since the launch of UNDFF in 2019, FAO and IFAD have been developing and disseminating various global products to provide practical technical support, enhance national and local capacities, and facilitate the design and implementation of tailored policies, actions and strategies in support of family farmers. These tools offer adaptable learning routes, hands-on methodologies, and updated key data to help countries develop public policies and investments for family farmers though the design of National Action plans, legislative and regulatory frameworks.

As both food and medicine, ume [Prunus mume, Japanese apricot] have been a highly valued crop in Japan from about 1300 years ago. Pickled ume, called umeboshi, keep well and have excellent medicinal effects including food poisoning prevention and recovery from fatigue, and have been consumed on a daily basis as a Japanese side dish. The Minabe-Tanabe ume system is a unique system which has sustainably produced high-quality ume by making use of slopes with rudaceous soil, which is poor in nutrien ts. The production of ume in this region comes to about 44,000 t annually (2012), accounting for about 50% of Japan’s total production. Yield per unit area is high, at about 1.5 t per 10 a, which is about twice that of Japan’s other ume-producing districts.
