The Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) is a pioneering mechanism for the direct delivery of finance and technical support to strengthen forest and farm producer organisations (FFPOs), whose membership includes smallholder farmers, Indigenous Peoples and local communities.
These organisations mobilise just rural transitions towards climate-resilient and nature-positive landscapes and improved livelihoods. Working closely with governments, the FFF strengthens interlinked networks of FFPOs that have been set up by their members to achieve impacts on the ground.
The work empowers these FFPOs to shape enabling policies, incubate sustainable enterprises, upscale climate and nature action, and deliver social and cultural protection. It pays special attention to gender equality, youth engagement and Indigenous Peoples’ rights.
FFF is a partnership established in 2012 between four international organisations with complementary skills and capacities: the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and AgriCord.
This flyer provides a brief introduction to FFF, including why it matters, where we work and our impact.
