The FAO Regional Technical Platform for Family Farming in Latin America and the Caribbean facilitates Technical Exchange Cycles. These cycles foster dialogue and cooperation among countries to strengthen family farming, aligning with the UN Decade of Family Farming (2019-2028).

Following editions on family farming registries and public procurement, the third cycle focuses on integrating rural youth into family farming. Its initial session, "Digital Technologies for Rural Youth," co-organized with REAF and the World Food Forum, explored how technology can enhance productivity and access to information, finance, and networks for young farmers.

Tunisian farmers face significant annual losses from increasing climate hazards. To address this, the FAO, under the National Adaptation Plan (PNA), is bolstering Tunisia's FIDAC fund. This vital national mechanism compensates farmers for natural disaster damages and builds resilience.

To ensure transparency and efficiency, regional committees received comprehensive training. This enhanced their skills in damage assessment and farmer support, enabling fair and reliable compensation. The strengthened FIDAC now better protects Tunisian farmers from the growing impacts of climate change.

Agri-food systems are crucial for economic development, employment, and food security in Latin America and the Caribbean. Yet, funding remains inadequate. Declining development finance, limited public agricultural investment, and unequal capital access severely affect small producers and vulnerable communities.

This session will explore mobilizing more and better financing through innovative instruments, international partnerships, and platforms like FAO's Hand-in-Hand Initiative. The goal is to promote sustainable, resilient, and inclusive agri-food systems.
