The Global Farmer Network (GFN) gathers farmers from around the world to discuss current issues in food, feed, fiber and fuel production. The most recent GFN Roundtable and Communication Training programme was held last September in person in Washington, DC. The next programme is scheduled to be held in the United Kingdom in 2024, and would include a virtual component prior to meeting in person in the UK.
The Global Farmer Network Roundtable and Communication Training programme often features a facilitated dialogue amongst global farmers to better understand and address the challenges of filling an increasing food and nutritional security gap. Through dialogue and time spent together, they discover commonalities, share their challenges, discuss tools, technologies and strategies that can be adopted to meet these challenges, and are empowered to meet the demands of feeding, clothing and fueling the world in a manner that is sustainable through shared work, message and mission. Farmers are trained with purpose – challenged to discover the power of their unique viewpoint – refine their skills to communicate their story with impact and gain a platform to expand their circle of influence in the global food challenge debate.
Do you know a farmer, who could benefit from this experience, be willing to engage in an important dialogue and add their voice to the Global Farmer Network? You can nominate the farmer or yourself for the upcoming programme, as follows:
1. Nominees must be actively engaged in agricultural production (for example: grains, cereals, fruits, vegetables, fiber, dairy, livestock, poultry, aquatic/fisheries).
2. Participants must be able to converse in English, have a valid passport and obtain a travel visa, if necessary.
3. Having an active presence on social media would also be a consideration.
4. Ability to communicate readily via e-mail is recommended and desirable.
Selected nominees would be personally contacted by the Global Farmer Network. The Global Farmer Network amplifies the farmers’ voice in promoting trade, technology, sustainable farming, economic growth, and food security. For enquires and nominations; please visit, https://globalfarmernetwork.
