The goal of the side event is to raise awareness about the opportunities and challenges facing family farms in the 21st century, and share experiences and knowledge on interventions that are needed to make them profitable and sustainable. The side event will feature two panel discussions, the first one focusing on what smallholder farmer’s need to improve and sustain their farming business and the second one on practical interventions, including technologies, policies and institutions needed to support such family farms. Speakers will include family farmers, policy makers, and opinion and business leaders.
