Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideDesign and implementation of family farming registers
Guide for policymakers
2025Family 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.
