In December 2017, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed the UN Decade of Family Farming 2019-2028 to serve as a framework for developing public policies to support family farming worldwide. An extraordinary opportunity, the Decade can significantly contribute to the achievement of the Agenda 2030 in an inclusive, collaborative and coherent way, by addressing family farming from a holistic perspective and eradicating rural poverty in all its forms.

To facilitate the implementation of the Decade, a global action plan will be developed based on the needs and priorities of all relevant stakeholders. The following consultation aims to gather and structure actions and expected outcomes at global level, and to provide a reference framework for commitments and activities by all actors at regional and national levels. Your experiences and inputs are requested here to build this action plan in a participative manner. The results of the consultation (the action plan) will be presented at the launch event of the UN Decade of Family Farming.

The survey should take about 30 minutes to complete. Be assured that all information you provide will be kept confidential. Please respond by 31 January 2019. You are welcome to share the survey within your networks.

Thank you very much,
Joint Secretariat of the United Nations Decade of Family Farming (2019-2028)
