Family FarmingOldest of Arts of Living facing Newest Challenges

Family Farming as old as human society

• Living in Crises—Food, Fuel, Financial, Climate change, technology … … Family Farm survives across the Globe

• Family members directly involved in farming

Family Farming advocates Food Security to Food Sovereignty—

seed, water and farm

Family Farmers Neglected most

A Farmer’s Son

and daughter struggle

…and his wife

…and evicted family farmer

Where is the policy space for family Farmer?

• He labours hard over the rocky field

Once he produces faces marketing

If less production faces hunger

• A farmer child curiosity vanishes in bewilderment

What IYFF must address

• Ensure farmers’ access and control over natural resources, mainly land, water, forests and seeds

• Preserve and Promote sustainable, agro –ecological long practised by Family Farmers

• Ensure Youths’ vibrant dreams in Farming• Recognise women’s role in Farm busines• Ensure access and fair competition in market

And there is Huger Free World by 2025

Farmers Claim • Today is
