Global Family Farming Forum
To mark the halfway point of the UNDFF, the Global Family Farming Forum will celebrate family farming as the backbone of diverse, innovative and dynamic agrifood systems.
17:30 – 18:30 CEST
This official Pre-Summit session of the UN Food Systems Summit will hear from leaders from the public sector, Public Development Banks (PDBs), private investors, farmers’ organizations, and others to discuss how PDBs – responsible for over two thirds of formal financing for agriculture – can catalyse more green and inclusive investments in food and agriculture, and channel more financing towards small-scale producers.
PDBs have the potential to unlock significant funds, particularly by better enabling and de-risking private investments. These investments can ultimately help small-scale farmers and rural businesses increase their resilience, improve livelihoods, and contribute to the goal of inclusive and sustainable food systems that work for everyone. This official Pre-Summit session will highlight actions and commitments from actors and leaders around the world to scale-up green and inclusive investments across the sector through better, more coordinated action, including actions to benefit the small-scale producers and agri-food entrepreneurs that produce, transform, and market the majority of the food consumed in low- and middle-income countries.
