Presentation of the member

Brief presentation

The World Rural Forum (WRF) is a multi-stakeholder network working for Family Farming (FFA) and sustainable rural development, composed of FFA federations and organizations such as COPROFAM, PROPAC, PIFON, PDRR and AFA, rural development organizations such as INADES and agricultural cooperatives and research centers such as CIRAD. The entities of the WRF represent more than 40 million farm families on five continents.
The purpose of the association is to promote Family Farming and Sustainable Rural Development.

Missions

The missions of the FRM are
i) the defense of family agriculture, through the United Nations Decade of Family Agriculture (2019-2028);
ii) to promote cooperativism/associativism in family farming;
iii) to strengthen the capacities of the partner organizations of the FRM;
iv) maintain our strength in the regions where we work strongly while expanding the social base of the WRF in others (Europe, Caribbean, South Africa, East and West Africa);
v) Promote collaboration between agricultural organizations, international agencies and governments;
vi) promote the visibility of FA, sustainable rural development and SDOs
vii) mobilize funds to implement the above strategic lines.
