Le Mécanisme forêts et paysans (FFF – d’après l’anglais Forest and Farm Facility) aide les organisations de producteurs forestiers et agricoles (petits exploitants, groupes de femmes rurales, communautés locales et institutions de peuples autochtones) à accroître leurs capacités techniques et commerciales de façon à pouvoir jouer leur rôle crucial en matière de lutte contre le changement climatique et d’amélioration de la sécurité alimentaire. Le FFF s’engage aussi auprès des gouvernements pour développer des mécanismes intersectoriels et des processus politiques tenant compte des apports des populations rurales. Les FFF est un partenariat entre la FAO, l’IIED, l’UICN, et AgriCord. Les donateurs actuels sont la Suède, l’Allemagne, le Royaume Uni, la Finlande, les États Unis d'Amérique, les Pays-Bas, et IKEA.
