The International Year of Family Farming (IYFF) highlights
the decisive role of family farming in the sustainable production of 80% of the
world’s food and in the conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity. The IYFF-2014 Photo Competition collects visual
expressions to build stronger recognition and support for family farming, and
encourage broad participation in the IYFF.
The IYFF-2014 Photo Competition is calling for
photos that represent the motto: Family Farming: Feeding the world, caring for
the earth. Entries must visualize the strength, potential and challenges of
sustainable, multifunctional family farmers worldwide, in all their diversity
and contexts.
A jury consisting of Angèle Etoundi, Bernward Geier, S.Jayaraj,
Tomás Munita, Deo Sumaj and Jun Virola will choose the winning photos. The
deadline for entries is 1May 2014, but we appreciate receiving photos earlier.
The winning photos will be announced in October 2014. The photo competition is
an initiative of the AgriCultures Network and the World Rural Forum, in close collaboration
with the Asian Farmers Association, CLOC/La Via Campesina and the More and
Better Network. Read more and submit your photo at www.agriculturesnetwork.org/photocompetition
This is an opportunity worth trying.
