The Forest and Farm Facility provides direct financial support and
technical assistance to strengthen forest and farm producer
organizations representing smallholders, rural women’s groups, local
communities and indigenous peoples’ institutions. Collectively, forest
and farm producers have the potential to achieve the Sustainable
Development Goals and to respond to climate change at landscape scales. A
partnership between FAO, IIED, IUCN and AgriCord, the Forest and Farm
Facility is funded by Sweden, Germany, the United Kingdom, Finland, the United States of America, the Netherlands and IKEA.
