Descripción
Family farming is an essential activity for the development of the rural world and the food and nutritional security of the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean. Legislating family farming makes it possible to lay permanent regulatory foundations for the development of favorable policies that promote family farming as part of diversified food systems that are more resilient to climate change through the sustainable use of natural resources.
In turn, the legislation on the matter, accompanied by regulations and an adequate budget, is a useful tool to promote the enjoyment of the rights of people dedicated to family farming. The regulations on family farming facilitate access to financing, services, infrastructure, innovation, and markets, allowing greater economic opportunities. In addition, they are key to addressing the inequalities observed in the rural world, allowing greater inclusion and participation of women, indigenous peoples, young people, and the elderly, and promoting synergies between locally based traditional knowledge and innovation.
