Dialogues of Knowledge and Practices in Family Farming series aims to promote collaborative learning and knowledge transfer among governments, farmers and other stakeholders in the sector, and to make visible the contributions of family farming to an agenda for transforming agri-food systems.

Recognizing the diversity of contexts and experiences, the dialogues facilitate the identification of successful approaches and the adaptation of appropriate practices to local realities.

These dialogues will be linked to integration and cooperation agendas underway around the world, and will seek to link the various issues addressed with existing solutions and concrete experiences, considering the following thematic axes:

The shared experiences will be linked to technological, social and institutional innovations, generating elements for dialogue and collective reflection on mechanisms to continue strengthening family farming.

Agroecology offers a unique approach to meeting the needs of present and future generations. It seeks to transform agri-food systems by addressing the root causes of problems and providing holistic, long-term solutions based on knowledge co-creation, exchange, and innovation, including the combination of local, traditional, indigenous, and practical knowledge with multidisciplinary science.

Similarly, the agroecological transition has been linked to processes of sustainable rural development, the empowerment of small farmers, the protection of biodiversity and the environment, and the fight against climate change. Prioritizing family farmers as key players in expanding the reach of agroecology and rescuing traditional productive knowledge and the ancestral wisdom of Indigenous peoples, it is therefore crucial to advance public policies that allow the foundations of this approach to be incorporated into agricultural and rural development in the region.
