Mission & vision
Mission
The AgriCultures Network facilitates practice-based knowledge building on sustainable small-scale family farming and food production, and a wide dissemination of such knowledge, both at local and global levels. Connecting different stakeholders and different types of knowledge, it empowers farmers and it contributes to society-wide learning and to upscaling and replication of sustainable farming practices and approaches. Members of the network actively exchange experiences and know-how on policy, institutions, markets, human, social and cultural capital, science and technology, and natural resources and climate.
Vision
The AgriCultures Network envisages a world wherein ecologically sound family farming is widely recognised as the foundation for resilient rural livelihoods and a sustainable global society. Small-scale family farmers - women and men - produce adequate supplies of food and commodities for themselves and for local, regional and global markets. Doing so, they contribute to finding solutions for global challenges: climate change, hunger and environmental degradation.
