Ten years, multiple projects, tens of thousands of farmers capacitated, hundreds of thousands of beneficiaries reached, and finally, all the work to promote inclusive, systemic changes. FFD has facilitated smallholder farmers’ and forest keepers’ resilience, well-being, and strengthened their organizations to continue operating even if our collaboration may end. This has been the story of FFD, and we are glad to continue it.
FFD started its work to support producer organizations in the Global South 10 years ago. Now is the time to take stock of our successes and key achievements. At the 10th Year Anniversary seminar “Farmers for sustainable and responsible food systems and forestry – from local action to systemic change” on 12 October 2023, we discussed producers and their role in a sustainable and responsible food system.
We had a look at the results of FFD’s work from the past years and heard stories from our cooperative partners around the world! The FFD 10th Year Anniversary Seminar took take place in Helsinki, Finland on 12th of October 2023 as well as online, and the video recording of the whole seminar is found here.
