Strengthening Family Farming involves advancing the development and implementation of institutional frameworks that recognize and value family farming as a strategic sector. These frameworks should provide incentives and specific support for family farming, including access to land, water, and genetic resources, as well as the protection of land tenure rights for family farmers.
From a regulatory perspective—through laws and legal frameworks—to the implementation of differentiated policies for family farming, there is a wide range of tools and strategies that have been adopted by different countries to target actions and drive the development of the sector and its contributions to the transformation of agrifood systems.
Within the framework of this platform, the goal is to promote cooperation and dialogue that support countries in guiding actions and concrete tools for institutional and regulatory development aimed at strengthening family farming, enhancing its capacity to address emerging and evolving challenges. This effort will be closely coordinated with existing spaces, such as the Specialized Meeting on Family Farming of MERCOSUR (REAF/MERCOSUR) and the Central American Integration System (SICA).
