The Farmers Major Group is an inclusive space for all farmers and peasants from around the world to coordinate positions, statements and overall participation and engagement in UNEP processes related to sustainable development.
The Farmers Major Group seeks to prioritize participation of peasants, farmers, pastoralists and fishermen that are from the Global South and Least Developed Countries.
It is farmers and peasants who produce the food and agricultural products that the world consumes, and who make significant economic, social and cultural contributions at the local, regional and global levels. As such, the members of the Farmers Major Group must be actively engaged within the UNEP processes to ensure that their voices are heard and respected.
