With a core focus that includes indigenous peoples, local forest communities, and smallholders living on farms in forested landscapes, the United Nations (UN) Decade of Family Farming (2019–2028) is of key importance to FAO and the Forest and Farm Facility. As Jeffrey Campbell, FFF Manager explains, the Decade also presents FO and FFF with major opportunities to highlight the role of smallholder producers and the support provided to help them transform productive landscapes and natural resource systems. This takes place through a range of economic and policy interventions, which also support action on adaptation and resilience to climate change, while respecting cultural practices and the integrity of biological diversity and sustainable ecosystems and livelihoods. Launched on 29 May 2019 at FAO headquarters, the Decade will also provide the UN and partners with a key path towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in an inclusive, collaborative and coherent way.
