The World Farmers' Organisation (WFO) is an International organisation 'of farmers for farmers.' It aims to bring together all the national producer and farm cooperative organisations with the objective to develop policies that favor and support farmers' causes in developed and emerging countries around the world. WFO is a member-based organisation of agricultural producers, which aims to strengthen farmers' positions within value chains, with a particular focus on smallholder farmers. By advocating on behalf of farmers and representing their interests in international policy forums, WFO supports farmers in better managing extreme price volatility, leveraging market opportunities, and timely access to market information. WFO's work covers all agriculture related thematic areas including forestry, aquaculture and fisheries, environment, trade, extension, research and education. WFO encourages farmers' involvement in sustainable rural development, the protection of the environment and facing other emerging challenges, such as climate change, generational renewal, and gender equality. WFO's mandate is to bring together farmers' organisations and agricultural cooperatives from all over the world, representing the global farmer community: nano, small, medium, and large-scale farmers. The World Farmers' Organisation's mission is to represent and advocate on behalf of farmers in global policy forums and create the conditions for the adoption of policies aimed to improve the economic environment and livelihood of producers, their families, and rural communities. Additional key technical areas of WFO work are: trade, innovation, women, youth, forestry, aquaculture, research, and innovation.
