The document, by country, is the most important policy in the areas of production, finance, commerce, public services and strengthening of associations of small and medium farmers.

The survey adds to the information obtained in the regional product, developed by the leaders of the movement Professional under the coordination of MAGFOR with support from IICA.

    It is good to see that those strategies made to the good development of farmers have been applied in small countries and places like Latin America, we need to realize that this is a problem of the whole world and every little place needs to make its contribution

    Wonderful, this is absolutely fantastic news! I know there are a lot of groups and individiuals that go to south america to help create sustainable agriculture systems, which is great, and it’s even greater news to hear that there is an entire network being created for their support.
