Synopsis (short abstract) Family Farming, represented by more than 500 million farms, produced about 80% of the World´s food in value terms, using reduced resources. It is fundamental to Food Security and Nutrition (FSN), fighting poverty, mitigating the impacts of climate change and preserving biodiversity and landscape. Family agriculture contributes directly to ten of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and will be on the international political agenda for the next ten years in the face of the recent adoption of Resolution 72/239 on the Decade of Family Agriculture (2019-2028), by the 72nd Session of the United Nations General Assembly. This importance can also be observed in the Member States of the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP), Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique, Portugal, Sao Tome and Principe and East Timor.

    Also available in:
    The Community of Portuguese-speaking Countries (CPLP)'s Training Center for Sustainable Family Farming (CCAFS) is a result of efforts made by various actors to strengthen sustainable family farming and the development of agroecology in these countries. With the partnership established between FAO, ACTUAR, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development of São Tomé and Príncipe, the CPLP, the Alimenta CPLP!Platform, and the Mechanism for the Facilitation of Civil Society Participation in CONSAN-CPLP, CCAFS began its activities in December 2020 through a Technical Cooperation Program (TCP) between these entities. The TCP aimed to develop skills for the Training Center through various activities such as training on agroecology, webinars, the development of a digital hub for agroecology in the CPLP, newsletters, and more. With its closure in November 2021, the TCP leaves accomplished the establishment of the physical space for the Training Center in São Tomé and Príncipe and the digital hub ConectAgroecologia, both with actions aimed at promoting agroecology throughout the CPLP.

    No results found.
    FAO supported the CONSAN-CPLP by carrying out two bottom-up pilot initiatives in selected territories of Cabo Verde and Sao Tome and Principe. As a result, this document was prepared [as a collaboration between the Food and Nutrition Division (ESN) and the Inclusive Rural Transformation and Gender Equality Division (ESP)] with the intention to disseminate major findings and mobilize other countries and regions to inform relevant territorial actors. The main objective of the policy brief is to show how territorial approaches can be applied to produce a participatory diagnosis of local food systems. More specifically, the objectives will be to: 1) capitalize on the experiences implemented by the Community of Portuguese-speaking countries (CPLP); 2) document the countries' experience and the main results and lessons learned from a participatory territorial analysis at the local level.; and 3) present recommendations for the CPLP multi-level food systems governance architecture
