Synopsis (short abstract) World Agriculture Watch (WAW) offers a comprehensive approach and tools to examine, analyse and monitor agricultural transformation around the world, to identify patterns and drivers of change and assess their impact. While WAW collects data on all types of farm, including industrial agriculture, it pays particularly close attention to family farms, to better tackle the constraints on their development through investment policies.

To scale up the initiative, WAW plans to rely on the involvement of numerous interconnected networks and hence will contribute to SDG 17 by strengthening partnerships between CSO, Governments and the private sector. Country projects will be undertaken in 21 countries in which there are around 100 regional observation sites established. WAW also partners with rural producer organizations, national farmer platforms and regional organizations. It works with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to strengthen the capacity of small support and cooperative groups.
