Farmers' Forum
©IFAD/Cristian Gennari
Bringing together farmers’ organizations, IFAD and governments for accountable rural development.
Launched in 2005, the Farmers’ Forum is a bottom-up dialogue between IFAD, our Member States and farmers’ organizations representing rural producers. Farmers’ leaders from around the world represent the millions of smallholders and rural producers who interact with IFAD and partner institutions.
The Forum strengthens IFAD’s partnerships and collaboration with farmers’ organizations, while building their capacity and engaging in policy dialogue. It is crucial for accountable rural development.
Global meetings are held every four years, while regional consultations are held in between to decentralize the process.
