Vision and Mission

IFAP is the world farmers’ organisation representing over 600 million farm families grouped in 115 national organisations in 80 countries. 

It is a global network in which farmers from industrialised and developing countries exchange concerns and set common priorities.

IFAP advocates farmers’ interests at the international level since 1946 and has General Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.
