Descripción
The United Nations has declared 2014 the International Year of Family Farming (IYFF) – with the slogan Feeding the World, Caring for the Earth - to shine a light on these important and unsung heroes of the global food production system. For FAO, family farming is understood to include crop, livestock, forestry, fishery and aquaculture producers who use predominantly family labour. The head of the household participates directly in the production process and the farm activity is the main source o f income for the household. However, supplemental income may come from other non-agricultural activities.
