Promote smallholder agriculture and food production to enhance food security and ensure meaningful lawful opportunities for communities to thrive.

Farmers are often absent from discussions about how policies and programs impact sustainable agricultural production.

At the IAF we are investing in a regional effort in conjunction with the University of British Columbia that will give farmers a voice and directly support them in collecting analyzing and presenting data that they can incorporate into their operations to manage their farms more efficiently.

Corporacin Buen Ambiente (Corambiente) is working with more than 70 organizations in the departments of Santander and Valle del Cauca to strengthen the production marketing and consumption of environmentally-friendly foods.

Corambiente?s activities promote smallholder agriculture and food production to enhance food security and ensure meaningful lawful opportunities for communities to thrive.The results of this regional project will inform agricultural support organizations (government extension experts farmer groups) and policymakers with context-specific data about how to encourage the transition to sustainable agricultural practices to improve food security enhance farmer livelihoods and minimize environmental degradation.

This is part of the IAF's strategic initiative for sustainable agriculture.
