Farming First

Farming First is a coalition of multi-stakeholder organisations, not an organisation. The coalition exists to articulate, endorse and promote practical, actionable programmes and activities to further sustainable agricultural development worldwide. There is no secretariat and it is not intended that one will be created.

Farming First enjoys the support of 131 organisations representing the world’s farmers, scientists, engineers and industry as well as agricultural development organisations.

The Farming First plan provides a call-to-action for policy-makers and practitioners to develop locally sustainable value chains for global agriculture. It is focused on returning farmers to the centre of policy decisions related to sustainable development.
