The history of Lanka Farmers’ Forum (LFF) draws back to the project implemented through the Medium Term Cooperation Programme (MTCP) which is supported by the International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD). MTCP started as a pilot project in 2009 with farmers organizations in Asia and the Pacific. The main objective of this program is to strengthen small scale national farmer organizations and to create a powerful network among them in order to provide improved services to their members and engage in policy processes. In Sri Lanka, this network was named Lanka Farmers Forum. The project was implemented by Movement for Land and Agricultural Reform (MONLAR) as the National Implementing Agency (NIA) in Sri Lanka, as a member of La Via Campesina.
