Area 1. Socioeconomic, gender, rural youth, and policy analysis
• Strengthening of national, regional and local capacities for undertaking socioeconomic and gender analysis of family farming productive systems, applying methodologies such as the policy analysis matrix (MAP) and socioeconomic and gender analysis (ASEG), as well as tools and indicators to make diagnostic assessment of the current rural employment situation.
• Training and analysis of trade flows and marketing margins that have an impact on the competitiveness of family farming.
• Diagnostic assessments at the national level to identify, in general, the potential and main constraints on family farming, as one of the inputs for defining priorities and support strategies in public policies.
Area 2. Sustainable intensification of family agricultural production
• Development of production systems, conservation and marketing of seeds and intensification of grain production through the use of high quality seeds
• Development of Farmer Field Schools, empowering the leading producers and extension workers
• Strengthening extension systems with self-management approaches
• Promotion of Integrated Pest Management in smallholder agriculture
• Development of sustainable livestock, agro-aquaculture, silvopastoral, agroforestry family systems
Area 3. Access to markets and inclusion in value chains
• Studying models and proposals for integrating family farming into agrifood markets.
• Strengthening of the capacities of family farmers (business capacities, preparation of investment projects, quality and safety standards, etc.) and establishment of alliances with buyers.
• Strengthening of associative management capacities and negotiation in markets.
• Improving the competitiveness of local traditional markets (open markets, specialized markets, mobile markets, flea markets, etc.) as an important channel for the commercialization of healthy food products from family farming.
• Development of market information systems.
Area 4. Development of an institutional framework for family farming
• Development of national strategies for the sustainable intensification of family farming production, integration of rural employment issues in relevant policy processes, and evaluation of the trade-offs between different policy alternatives.
• Strengthening of local, regional and national capacities for the adoption of pro-family farming policies and strategies, and for the design and implementation of new programmes and projects, using a results-based management approach.
• Organization of national and sub-regional forums for the discussion and exchange of experiences in public policies and strategies for family farming.
• Facilitating the exchange of experiences by government officials and civil society organizations involved in family farming policies.
