    The goals of poverty eradication and of promoting sustainable patterns of consumption and production constitute the overarching framework and the rationale of the new global development agenda. In this context, FAO restates its commitment to achieving these goals, while sustaining the legacy of the International Year of Family Farming, through its strategic goal of reducing rural poverty in support to of family farmers and smallholder agriculture. As part of the strategy, it is fundamental to re cognize global and regional structural transformations and related policy trends in the field of family farming, as well as partnerships with key players influencing regional and national processes. The workshop “Support to Family farming and small scale agriculture to achieve rural poverty reduction. Opportunities and priorities to Strengthen FAO Regional Initiatives” will focus on assessing the trends in family farming and debating the strategy and achievements of the three FAO Regional Initia tives (RIs) related to family farming and smallholders. It will assess the impacts and gaps in FAO’s assistance to countries, identifying areas of focus to scale up the work at the policy level and promote the collaboration across regions to improve results.
