PHILIPPINES Fact Sheet

The Asia-Pacific region holds 60 percent of the world’s population and 70 percent of its family farmers. Small-scale food producers, farmers, forest producers, fishers and herders produce 80 percent of the region’s food. Family farmers ensure the future of Asia and are at the heart of food security and sustainable food systems. The United Nations Decade of Family Farming (UNDFF 2019-2028) aims at unleashing the potential of family farmers as key agents of change to transform food systems world-wide. Within this framework, the ComDev Asia communication initiative implements a regional campaign to raise awareness on the UNDFF and promote improved communication capacities and services for family
farming in Asia.
