Strengthening role of farmers in sustainable development
Description
Strengthening the role of farmers in sustainable development involves empowering them with resources, knowledge, and decision-making capacity to implement environmentally sound practices, improve livelihoods, and ensure food security. This strategy addresses issues such as land degradation, poverty, and resource inefficiency by promoting access to training, technology, fair markets, and participatory governance. Practical actions include supporting farmer cooperatives, facilitating sustainable agriculture techniques, and integrating farmers’ voices in policy development for resilient rural communities.
Implementation
This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.
