Generating evidence to inform policies on agricultural transformations
2019There is a long-running debate on the merits of various agricultural transformation models, with sometimes strong positions adopted despite a lack of empirical evidence. WAW provides a methodological framework for understanding diversity in agricultural production structures and taking it into account in policy-making. This flyer is a brief introduction to WAW's rationale, methodological framework and expected achievements. -

No results found.The World Agriculture Watch (WAW) initiative aims to document the situation of global agriculture in all its diversity, from family farms to industrial enterprises. Identifying and understanding the myriad farm types, including family farms, is key to adapting projects, policies and investments to specific agricultural characteristics and constraints. In this way, investments can be targeted at strengthening the weakest aspects of different types of farm. WAW then uses farm typology to provide tailored means of monitoring the effects of these investments on family farms and tracking their relative performance. The information produced by these tools is intended to inform stakeholders and fuel the debate on policy choices for the agricultural sector, with a particular focus on those organizations that represent family farms, which are crucial to food and nutrition security. Moreover, WAW facilitates the global accumulation of knowledge on agricultural transformation at the international level. WAW offers decision-making support for intervention at the local, regional and national levels. It is currently working with a number of countries to develop national farm observatories that will enable them to participate in the global collection of data on and analysis of farm typologies and types of agriculture. -
