Synopsis (short abstract) The Rural Radio Initiative, part of the United Nations Decade of Family Farming (2019–2028), emphasizes communication's vital role in promoting sustainable food systems and supporting family farmers. Launched in 2023 across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, it involves farmers' organizations in program design, resulting in people-centered radio content tailored to farmers' needs. This initiative has reached over eight million farmers through hundreds of rural radio stations, facilitating transformative partnerships between farmer organizations, radio stations, and the FAO to shape inclusive and sustainable food systems.

    The Global Family Farming Forum (GFFF), organized at the FAO Headquarters in Rome from October 14-18, 2024, gathers global food champions and activists to mark the Mid-Term of the UN Decade of Family Farming (UNDFF 2019-28). A key element of this event is the model rural radio station, a fully operational broadcasting setup streaming live from the FAO headquarters. This station not only witnesses radio efforts in family farming but also serves as a platform to allow experienced rural radio broadcasters from various countries to co- produce a special radio series, Rural Radio: Voices for Change, to amplify discussions and perspectives on family farming reaching out also to rural audiences.
