VIII Global Conference. Family Farming: Sustainability of our Planet

The World Rural Forum's (WRF) Global Conference focused on the development and implementation of policies related to family farming and sustainable food systems. It brought together participants from around the world, including representatives from various governments, international organisations, agricultural and rural development associations, research centres, cooperatives, trade unions, and other civil society organisations.  

The conference aimed to encourage the development and implementation of National Action Plans through concrete and solid commitments to significantly improve public policies in favour of family farming. It served as a platform for discussion, networking, and collaboration on shared interests and common challenges. 

As part of this conference, the LIFE project ECOFFEED organised a Demonstration Workshop on 21 March to present its obtained results. The project aimed at recovering coffee by-products and upgrading them as a feed ingredient for dairy livestock, thereby reducing the environmental impact of coffee waste and livestock feed production.
