Critical events marked 2012, linking the concerns of our partners and the international release of MM Robin’s film, Crops of the future, which SOS Faim Belgique co-produced. Highlighting the key role of farmers for the future of humanity, the film’s message coincided with the agenda of the International Forum in Dakar in November 2012. This was attended by representatives of rural and farmers’ organisations from ROPPA affiliated national platforms. It ended with an important statement:

“To feed the country, we should build on and support family farms.”
