The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) concluded the LAC–NENA Family Farming Interregional Dialogue, held in Cairo on 7–8 July 2025. The two-day event brought together participants from the Near East and North Africa (NENA) and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) to exchange experiences, build partnerships, and promote policy solutions that strengthen family farming systems.

Jointly organized by FAO’s Regional Offices for NENA and LAC as part of the activities of the Regional Technical Platform on Family Farming, the Dialogue highlighted the shared challenges and opportunities facing smallholder and family farmers in both regions, with a strong focus on inclusive innovation, climate resilience, and sustainable rural transformation.
