Forest and Farm Producer Organizations-Operating Systems for the SDGs
June 22, 2016| |
Forest and farm producer groups are vital in achieving the expanding global need for food and forest products, as well as improving the lives in rural communities and reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This point was highlighted in the publication by the Food and agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in cooperation with AgriCord.
Through the publication, FAO challenges governments, development partners, civil society, and the private sector to increase support to forest and farm producer organizations to enhance their ability to fulfill their role in sustainable global development.
