World Farmers' Organisation: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how national farmer associations gain representation at global policy forums through the World Farmers' Organisation.

The World Farmers' Organisation serves as a global hub that aggregates resources, fellowships, and support systems for agricultural practitioners worldwide. It works to share experiences and advocate for farmer rights on a global stage.

Who it's for

This membership is specifically designed for national farmer associations. It is a structure built to bring together organized groups from different regions to ensure that the agricultural sector has a unified voice when dealing with international matters.

What you get

Members of the organisation gain representation at global policy forums. This means that the interests and challenges faced by agricultural workers are brought directly to the tables where international policies are discussed. By participating, these associations can advocate for farmer rights and participate in high-level discussions that shape the future of global agriculture.

What it costs you

Access to this global network requires your national union to join. Rather than a direct individual subscription, the involvement of your specific national farmer association is the necessary step to participate in this international community.

The catch to know

The most important thing to understand is that individual farmers cannot join this organisation on their own. If you are a single farmer looking to participate, you must be a member of a national union that is already an official member of the organisation. You must work through your existing national agricultural body to gain any level of representation or access to the support systems provided.

How to apply

  1. Contact your local or national farmer union to discuss their membership status.
  2. Ask your union representative if they are a member of the World Farmers' Organisation.
  3. Ensure your national union is actively participating in global policy discussions.
