The Governing Body has invited Contracting Parties and other relevant organizations to submit views, experiences and best practices on the implementation of Farmers’ Rights as set out in Article 9. It has also invited proposals for ways and means through which these views, experiences and best practices can be exchanged between and among Contracting Parties and relevant stakeholder groups. To facilitate the submissions, the Secretariat has issued a notification alerting National Focal Points and international relevant organizations. The deadline is 16 March 2012. The workshops which the Governing Body has requested will be held due to shortage of funds, on the margins of relevant interregional meetings, with regional breakout sessions.
