Official launch of the International Year of Family Farming



I used to hear here in the Philippines that the family that prays together stays together and how about the family that farms together?



I think it is a happy family because when father is not hungry the mother is not angry and the children  sleep early...and lived happily ever and after....

The International Year of Family Farming 2014 was officially launched last 22 November 2013, at UN Headquarters in New York. The main purpose of the event was to present the general objectives, lines of action and activities to be developed within the celebration of the IYFF 2014. In addition, the FAO Director General nominated the Special Ambassadors for the International Year of Family Farming 2014, who will be entrusted with the mandate raising the profile of family farming and smallholder farming by focusing world attention on its significant role in alleviating hunger and poverty.
