Vision
‘’Family farmers are not only food producers. They are essential actors in building healthier, more resilient and sustainable agri-food systems’’
Fernanda Machiaveli Morão De Oliveira
Executive Secretary of the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Family Farming (MDA), Brazil
highlights
Leading on forests, family farming and agroecology: Brazil launched the Tropical Forests Forever Facility, committed $19.6 billion to its 2026/27 Family Farming Harvest Plan, and is supporting agroecology through the National Productive Forests Programme, Together for the Expansion of Resilient and Restorative Agroforestry and Agroecology (TERRA) and rural extension programmes
Building resilient food systems and keeping food prices below regional and global averages: Brazil was removed from the FAO Hunger Map in July 2025 in record time and has sustained this reduction in the latest data. Brazil has also kept the cost of a healthy diet and inflation at below the regional and global averages, despite recent shocks.
Brazil's school feeding is the gold standard for public procurement as a transformation lever: The National School Feeding Programme reaches around 40 million students with at least 45% of purchases now required to be from family farmers. It is the model of food systems programming driving sustainable practices, increasing access to healthy diets and supporting local livelihoods.
