2. International Year of Family Farming
The United Nations declared 2014 the International
Year of Family Farming (IYFF) to recognise the
importance of family farming in reducing poverty
and improving global food security. According to
the UN, the IYFF aims to promote new
development policies particularly at the national
but also regional levels that will help small holder
and family farmers eradicate hunger, through
small scale sustainable agricultural production.
Family farming involves about 500 million families
consisting of over two billion people.

16. Biofortification and Hidden Hunger Challenge :
3 Major approaches
1. Naturally occurring biofortified plants like moringa,
sweet potato, nutri-millets and fruits and vegetables.
2. Biofortified varieties selected by breeding and
selection, eg, iron rich pearl millet and zinc rich rice
3. Genetically biofortified crops like Golden Rice and
iron rich rice (after appropriate regulatory clearance)

23. Farming System for Nutrition (FSN)*
“FSN involves the introduction of agricultural remedies to
the nutritional maladies prevailing in an area, through the
mainstreaming of nutritional criteria in the selection of the
components of a farming system involving crops, farm
animals and where feasible, fish. While finalizing the
components of a farming system, the gender and age
dimensions of human nutritional needs should be kept in
view, such as the special needs of pregnant women and
nursing mothers, and new born babies during the first
1000 days after conception and birth”

Family Farming is the pathway to Sustainable Food Security
40. India has made huge progress in agriculture from what was
known as a “ship to mouth” existence to the status of
conferring the right to food with home-grown food. This was
possible only because of public procurement at a
remunerative price. Unfortunately, there is a controversy in
the World Trade Organisation about the support extended to
Indian farmers for achieving Mahatma Gandhi’s vision of a
“Hunger Free India”. Providing family farmers with adequate
financial and scientific support to ensure food security should
be the bottom line of all food and agriculture policies of
developing countries. Food and income Security should
remain non-negotiable, particularly in countries where over
50% of the population depend on farming for their livelihood.
