The Regional Technical Platform on Family Farming is part of a global FAO initiative that promotes five regional technical platforms focused on key thematic areas, with the goal of advancing more efficient, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable agrifood systems. These platforms work together to promote better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life, leaving no one behind. This specific platform is facilitated by the FAO Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean.

Today, it faces major challenges and transformations due to technological advancements, climate change, growing demand for food with specific socio-environmental attributes, and demographic shifts. To address these changes and seize new opportunities, it is crucial for family farming to continue innovating by incorporating new knowledge, science, and technology into its practices. This will help strengthen and consolidate its strategic role within agrifood systems.
Objectives of the platform

This Technical Platform aims to provide governments, family farming organizations, the scientific and academic community, and the private sector with a set of virtual events, including webinars, interactive workshops, and discussion panels, facilitated by leading experts in the field. It also offers access to educational materials, case studies, and practical tools that can be directly applied in agricultural practice.
These actions are designed to promote dialogue among different regions in a dynamic and collaborative digital space, where participants can access resources and learn from the most innovative practices in the field of family farming. |
