Forest and Farm Facility Annual Report 2025

2025 was a year of significant achievement for the Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) and the forest and farm producer organisations (FFPOs) it supports. Evidence of the effectiveness of FFPOs continued to grow in countries, and they also increasingly shaped policy debates through coordinated advocacy at the regional and global levels.

The FFF’s monitoring and learning system and risk management tools were further developed. An independent evaluation confirmed the FFF’s strategic relevance and effectiveness. And consultations intensified with partners for a potential successor phase that helped crystallise a shared vision for the future.

What distinguishes the FFF is its focus on strengthening producer organisations and the relationships among them. Reaching the world’s 1.5 billion forest and farm producers individually is neither feasible nor effective. Similarly, restoring landscapes, managing fire risk and building resilient food systems cannot happen without collective action. Small investments in accountable, well-governed producer organisations yield outsized returns for food security, climate action, nature conservation and social stability.

The results presented in this annual report reflect the dedication, ingenuity and resilience of the FFF’s partners and the forest and farm producers they support across the world.
