The "Interregional Dialogues for Family Farming" initiative, launched in 2025, promotes the exchange of innovative solutions among countries to strengthen family farming. The 2026 edition focuses on land access and tenure governance, aligning with the DNUAF objectives and the Voluntary Guidelines on Responsible Governance of Tenure (VGGT).

The first session, held from June 22 to 24 in Brasilia, Brazil, was organized with the Government of Brazil and the FAO's South-South Cooperation program. This initiative also supports global agendas like ICARRD+20 and the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty.
