Global consultations on Farmers' Rights

Norway, in cooperation with research organizations of the respective host country and the Fridtjof Nansen Institute, has been involved in three global consultations on Farmers' Rights, which took place in Lusaka, Zambia in 2007, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2010 and in Bali, Indonesia in 2016. All consultations sought to involve a wide range of participants, representing various stakeholders and regions. All consultations shared the purpose of producing constructive proposals to the sessions of the Governing Body regarding how to further enhance the implementation of Farmers' Rights. The second consultation consisted of an e-mail-based survey and an international conference with regional components, allowing more experts and stakeholders to participate. Participants actively engaged and shared views, experiences and examples of best practices relating to the implementation of Farmers’ Rights and discussed issues affecting their realization. Besides providing information to contracting parties and the Governing Body, these consultations have also strengthened the national implementation of Farmers' Rights in some countries and contributed to awareness raising among government representatives and other stakeholders. The documented experiences could thus serve as examples of options for encouraging, guiding and promoting the realization of Farmers’ Rights.
