The 2014 International Year of Family Farming (IYFF)
aims to raise the profile of family farming and smallholder farming by
focusing world attention on its significant role in eradicating hunger
and poverty, providing food security and nutrition, improving
livelihoods, managing natural resources, protecting the environment, and
achieving sustainable development, in particular in rural areas.
The goal of the 2014 IYFF is to reposition family
farming at the centre of agricultural, environmental and social policies
in the national agendas by identifying gaps and opportunities to
promote a shift towards a more equal and balanced development. The 2014
IYFF will promote broad discussion and cooperation at the national,
regional and global levels to increase awareness and understanding of
the challenges faced by smallholders and help identify efficient ways to
support family farmers.
