ForewordProducer organizations (POs) and cooperatives are important partners for FAOto achieve its mandate of ending hunger. The new FAO Strategic Frameworkincorporates their roles of rural poverty reduction and of enabling more inclusiveand efficient agricultural and food systems at local, national and international levels.The 2014 International Year of Family Farming (IYFF) proclaimed by the UN, waspivotal to remind the international community of the position of POs and cooperatives asactors of change towards sustainable agricultural development. Indeed 2014 representeda crucial occasion to reaffirm the central role of these institutions in helping family farmersovercome the constraints they face. An important outcome of the IYFF was to have raisedawareness on the need for stronger POs and cooperatives to unlock the potential of familyfarming for food security and sustainable development. An organized family farmingsector around farmer-based collective action has the potential to increase the efficiencyof the sector. In this sense, the IYFF gave the opportunity to leverage the legacy of the2012 International Year of Cooperatives (IYC) and to mark a further milestone in raisingthe profile of POs and cooperatives at global level.FAO’s support to POs and cooperatives has increased tremendously over the lastyears. This has been widely documented in the six Annual Reports that FAO has producedsince 2009. From last year’s edition, the format has been revamped making it morereader-friendly and accessible to a wider audience. As such, the Report remains a usefulresource to exemplify the aggregated support that FAO provides to farmer-led activities atglobal, regional and country level.The 2014 Report provides further evidence of such support. Through the97 contributions provided by FAO staff from both headquarters and decentralizedoffices, this edition illustrates how FAO collaborated with Member States, cooperatives,POs and other actors, to support collective action in the field, ultimately enablingfarmers and their families to become food secure and escape from rural poverty.As widely documented in the Report, the main actions encompass facilitating thex
