Family Farming Knowledge Platform

VIDEO CONTEST 2024: Innovations for and by family farmers

18/06/2024

Participate in our contest and send in your videos which will compete for the opportunity to be presented at the Global Family Farming Forum in October 2024, in Rome, Italy.

The videos should illustrate how family farmers can be supported by innovations. These innovations might combine old and new food system practices and organizational processes, using both traditional and diverse forms of knowledge and connecting these with newly available information and technologies. They have a holistic approach and could take many forms: technological, social, policy, financial, marketing, legislative, communication and institutional. They can cover all aspects of agrifood systems and help family farmers to fight hunger and poverty, revitalize rural areas and protect the environment.

This call is also a window to showcase innovations aimed at family farmers, for example helping them to access new and better markets, make more efficient use of productive resources, adapt to the challenges of climate change, generate new cooperative and organizational models, optimize production processes from the field to the table, access new technologies and digital tools, strengthen management and extension capacities, generate synergies and greater articulation networking.

This contest also offers applicants the opportunity to share their stories and artistic skills through audiovisual storytelling and explain the complex interrelationship between the diverse livelihoods of farmers, fishers, pastoralists and others,  and their leading role in the generation of resilient and sustainable agrifood systems.
