Family farming registries are systems that gather information about family farmers and their households. This data helps governments understand the demographics, production methods, and challenges faced by these farmers, leading to better policies and resource allocation across various sectors.

These registries also aid in monitoring public policies, enhancing support for family farming, and fostering sustainable agrifood systems. Learn more about family farming at FAO, read the publication on registries here, or take the e-learning course here. Subscribe to our channel here.
