Family Farming a means of organizing agricultural, forestry, fisheries, pastoral and aquaculture production which is managed and operated by a family and predominately reliant on family labour, both women’s and men's. The family and the farm are linked, coevolve and combine economic, environmental, reproductive, social and cultural functions. (FAO, 2013) www.ruralforum.net www.familyfarmingcampaign.net www.ruralforum.net
