Within the framework of the Regional Technical Platform for Family Farming and the United Nations Decade for Family Farming, invite you to participate in the II Edition of the Technical Exchange Cycles for Family Farming, which will work on the topic of Purchasing Public Family Farming
The Regional Technical Platform for Family Farming is a global initiative facilitated by the FAO Office for Latin America and the Caribbean, with the support of the Partnerships and UN Collaboration Division (PSU), and its objective is to generate spaces for dialogue and exchange of experiences to promote technical and institutional innovations that strengthen the Family Farming sector.
In this second edition of the Cycle, it seeks to generate a space where public purchasing experiences for family farming are shared and enriched. It is expected not only to learn from the successes, challenges and lessons learned of the exhibitors but also to create synergies that drive efficiency and equity in these processes.
The cycle will consist of 3 virtual sessions focused on different public purchasing experiences, paying special attention to school feeding programs and the main tools for the operationalization of these initiatives, recognizing their multi-dimensionality and ability to provide results in different areas related to the dimensions of environmental, social and economic in the countries:
Session 1: Family Farming in the Different Public Procurement Mechanisms: A Global Look at lessons learned and challenges – April 4, 10:00 a.m. Chile – available at https://www.fao.org/platforms/family-farming /technical-exchanges/en
Session 2: Enabling Tools for Public Procurement Programs and Policies for Family Farming – May 2, 10:00 (Barbados time zone)
Session 3: Examples of School Feeding Policies and Programs – Date: June 4, 10:00 (Chile)
The second session of this cycle of exchanges will focus on the instruments necessary for the effective implementation of public purchasing initiatives for family farming, exploring the tools developed in different cases that have allowed successful management. Likewise, reflection will be deepened on the importance of these tools being linked to an enabling environment for the socio-productive inclusion of family farming.
The main barriers that must be considered in the design of these initiatives and the strategic elements that have made it possible to take advantage of the potential of public purchases from family farming will be discussed.
Interested people will be able to participate through the Zoom platform, upon registration, and simultaneous interpretation will be available in Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and Arabic. The recordings will be published through the page of the Regional Technical Platform for Family Farming.
We are waiting for you!
