Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFamily farming and climate-resilient agrifood systems
KEY THEME
2024Food and agricultural production practices applied by family farmers – including agroecological and integrated systems; recycling of nutrients, energy and waste; natural pest control; crop diversification; and efficient management of natural resources and soil health – present promising opportunities to address climate change, given that they allow high-level adaptation capacity to new environmental circumstances. This adaptation capacity is embedded in the local knowledge that is being continuously renewed through observations and farmers’ experimentation. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyA learning framework for inclusive, integrated and innovative public policy cycles for family farming 2023Public policies for family farming – when done appropriately – provide a perfect match between different policy areas related to productive, economic, social, environmental and cultural dimensions of sustainable food systems. The Learning framework for inclusive, integrated and innovative public policy cycles for family farming was developed under the framework of the United Nations Decade of Family Farming (2019–2028) to support policymakers, family farmers’ organizations and other relevant stakeholders to increase their understanding of public policy cycles and family farming related policies. This technical and methodological capacity development programme is adaptable to local, national or regional priorities. It offers a holistic perspective to building knowledge and capacity of the various actors involved in the design, implementation and review of effective and coherent policies and programmes. This learning framework responds to the needs of multiple actors, expressed during the UNDFF pre-consultation process, to identify ways to create truly effective and efficient policy frameworks for family farming, and to better engage and participate during policy processes. To provide an appropriate answer to these needs the learning framework was designed through a participatory process building on the experience of governments and family farmers’ organizations, researchers and UN staff, gathering inputs from all relevant actors around the world.

This story was selected from 273 stories received from 68 countries around the world through an open call held in 2025, entitled “Global Call for Stories: Family farmers at the heart of climate-resilient and sustainable agrifood systems” led by the FAO Family Farming Knowledge Platform (FFKP), the FAO Family Farming Engagement, Parliamentary Networks and ComDev Initiatives Unit and a coalition of Allies. The call was part of the United Nations Decade of Family Farming (UNDFF) 2019-2028, which aims to shed new light on what it means to be a family farmer in a rapidly changing world and highlights more than ever before the important role they play in eradicating hunger and shaping our future of food, through the Family Farming Knowledge Platform.
