No results found.Guided by the Global Action Plan of the United Nations Decade of Family Farming 2019-2028, this publication looks into ways that legislation can best support policy processes aimed at advancing family farming’s contribution to the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals. The publication aims to present some of the laws and regulations relevant to family farming to determine the features that can most positively benefit family farmers while providing information and experiences from different parts of the globe for decision-makers and practitioners. The objective not being to provide prescriptions for how to regulate family farming, but rather to present different options to decision-makers, thereby facilitating their appreciation of the complexity of existing legislative and regulatory frameworks that underpin family farming and empowering them for the design of supportive approaches best suited to their respective national context. With the multisectorality of family farming at its core and mindful of family farmers’ overwhelming contribution to nutritiously and sustainably feed the world, this publication analyses legislative processes in 12 different areas that are conducive to the agri-food systems transformation for a better production, better environment, better nutrition and better life for all, leaving no one behind. -
Book (stand-alone)Legislative developments and challenges in the time of COVID-19
The parliamentary sector as a key stakeholder in building a new normal
2022Evidence shows that the improvement in food and nutrition security is mostly due to policies, programs and frameworks that are anchored in legislation. Parliamentarians play a key role in promoting and approving laws and policies to eradicate hunger and malnutrition. Despite the various challenges to be faced, as those posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, parliamentarians reiterated their commitment to learning from each other’s, sharing their experiences, strengthening collaboration between countries and regions, thus stimulating the adoption of laws, policies and programs, but also, the allocation and supervision of public budgets. In addition, the parliamentary sector plays a fundamental role in the implementation of the United Nations Decade of Family Farming 2019-2028 (UNDFF). This publication is dedicated to the Virtual Parliamentary Dialogues that took place between March and November 2021, and is aimed at sharing the effective results of legislative initiatives that aimed at reducing and mitigating the negative impacts of COVID-19 on food security and nutrition (FSN). This made clear the importance of parliamentary action, and how it is fundamental in the development of legal frameworks, in the exercise of political oversight, and in ensuring appropriate budget allocations able to pave the way for a faster and more lasting recovery.As time goes by, even in this time of crisis, ad hoc measures and capacities to better manage the impacts of the pandemic on food security and nutrition are emerging with greater force. It is encouraging to see the commitment and innovative thinking that parliamentarians have shown. -
BookletFAO's work on Family Farming
Preparing for the Decade of Family Farming (2019–2028) to achieve the SDGs
2018Family farming is by far the most prevalent form of agriculture both in developed and developing countries, represents the largest source of employment worldwide, and is much more than a mode of food production, it is also a way of life. In 2014, the International Year of Family Farming (IYFF 2014) focused world’s attention on family farmers’ important role in alleviating hunger and poverty, providing food security and nutrition, improving livelihoods, sustainably managing natural resources, protecting the environment, and fostering sustainable development. In 2017, the International Decade of Family Farming 2019-2028 was proclaimed, as a framework for countries to develop public policies and investments to support family farmers, and thus contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including eradicating rural poverty in all its forms and dimensions. This publication highlights some of FAO’s key messages and FAO’s work on family farming at regional and national level, showing the positive developments since the IYFF 2014 and underlining specific levers and processes to scale up throughout the upcoming Decade.
