    The last 15 years in Latin America have been marked by the emergence and consolidation of family farming and the need to develop differentiated public policies Many countries have experimented with new institutional architectures and public policies, which have been designed and, in some cases, implemented yet much remains to be done to consolidate this sector In addition, the economic and political landscape in the region is necessitating a revision of the policies that have been developed and their applicability, while raising the need for innovations that will make it possible to boost family farming and consolidate it as a key sector for eradicating hunger, rural poverty and achieving the proposed Sustainable Development Goals ( The recent approval by the UNDFF offers an exceptional opportunity to significantly contribute to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in an inclusive, collaborative and coherent manner The aims of the UNDFF are to recognize the importance of family farmers and empower them as key agents of change in the transformation of food systems, by making them more efficient and sustainable In addition, the UNDFF aims to link their importance with environmental, health and nutrition, their role in the fight against poverty and inequality, the strengthening of the social fabric in rural territories and the revitalization of the respective economies.

    Support for ROPPA in Implementing The United Nations Decade of Family Farming (2019–2028) - TCP/SFW/3803 2024

    In West Africa, family farming employs around 62 percent of the workforce, supplying the bulk of agricultural (both unprocessed and processed) products to feed the population and satisfy the agrifood industry’s requirements. However, despite its clear importance, the vital role of family farming in combating poverty and food insecurity is not sufficiently considered in national investment programmes. Hence, in December 2017, the United Nations declared a United Nations Decade of Family Farming (UNDFF 2019–2028) to focus on family farming as a central global priority for ten years. A Global Action Plan was devised to implement the UNDFF. This plan aims to develop practical, coordinated actions to tackle the challenges faced by family farmers, enhance their capacity to invest, and make full use of their contributions. It includes seven pillars designed to provide comprehensive guidance for all stakeholders, including the international community, regional entities, civil society organizations, the private sector, and farmers’ organizations, such as the Network of Peasant and Producers' Organizations of West Africa (ROPPA).
