Gains in political commitment around Family Farming were one of the most notable results of International Year of Family Farming IYFF-2014. Not just because of reaping results in the form of numerous laws, programmes and other specific public policy improvements, but also because of the spirit of collaboration and understanding generated among different entities, institutions and organizations.Aimed precisely to continue promoting this global context of dialogue and collaboration, Bilbao (Basque Country, Spain) will host the fifth World Rural Forum (WRF) conference on 21, 22 and 23 September. The subtitle of the Conference was Let's Build the Future: Family Farming.
The representative of our association also participated as coordinator of the Hungarian National Committee. This conference aims to contribute in keeping Family Farming, smallholders, artisanal fishing, pastoralism and indigenous communities on the international agenda, as set out byIYFF+10. 
The meeting brought together representatives from a range of governments, agricultural organizations, international organizations (likeFAO and IFAD), National Family Farming Committees, rural development associations, NGOs and research centers.
