The UN Decade of Family Farming 2019-2028 (UNDFF), a joint initiative of FAO and IFAD, was launched on 29 May 2019 at FAO headquarters in Rome as a framework for countries to develop public policies and investments to support family farming from a holistic perspective. After three years of implementation, the Global Forum of the UNDFF will take stock of the process on 19-22 September 2022.

In preparation for the Global Forum, FAO, and IFAD, with the support of an informal preparatory group representing Family Farmers’ Organizations (AFA, AsiaDHRRA, La Via Campesina, PIFON) organized a Virtual Regional Dialogue on Family Farming for Asia and the Pacific on 29 June 2022.

The dialogue leveraged the views of relevant actors in the region to better understand the successful experiences and context-specific key challenges on a regional scale towards the implementation of the UNDFF. It will aim at stimulating a common reflection on how to leverage the role of family farming toward more inclusive and resilient food systems. The main outcomes of the discussion will be systematized and reported in the framework of the Global Forum in September 2022, as part of the technical discussions linked to the seven Pillars of work of the UNDFF Global Action Plan.
