WTO Public Forum 2015, Evelyn Nguleka, president of the World Farmers’ Organisation (WFO) and the Zambian National Farmers Union

The World Farmers Organization (WFO) with headquarters in Rome, Italy, established 2011,[1][2] is an international organization of farmers with a focus on agroecology, farming typologies, food chains, indigenous peoples, and mountain farming. The WFO aims to strengthen agricultural producers and farmers' positions within value chains, with a particular focus on smallholder farmers. As such, it closely cooperates with the FAO.[1][3][4] The WFO is also acting as a successor to the now-defunct IFAP with its controversial focus on representing middle-class to rich farmers from the Global North, and cooperates with Bayer in several projects (WFO Gymnasium, "Cattle4Care").[5][2][6][7]
