Highlights

As the main focal point for the Farmers’ Major Group within the UN Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD), the International Federation of Agricultural Producers (IFAP) plays a critical role in urging governments to increase their collaboration with farmers and in focusing on the importance of including sustainable ARD into their priorities and future financial plans. Their release entitled “Farmers’ Priorities for Actions” will serve as major lobbying points and policy positions at the CSD-17, which will be held from May 4th -15th 2009. As an organization which represents the voice of farmers within GFAR’s Steering Committee, we look forward to working alongside IFAP to make the needs of farmers heard.
