Family farmers feed the world and farming families are uniquely positioned to lead the transformation of food production towards resilience and sustainability. Family farmers, fisherfolk, pastoralists, foresters, and food producers have valuable insights rooted in traditional knowledge and innovation that are of great value to those beyond their fields and shores.  This call shines a light and adds volume to the stories of family farmers to better understand and value how they sustainably manage natural resources, adapt to climate change, and conserve and restore biodiversity in agrifood systems, and are ultimately at the heart of climate-resilient and sustainable agrifood systems.
