Farmers’ Organisations, a Handbook

This handbook provides practical insights into the world of farmers’ organisations — from cooperatives and unions to commodity associations and producer groups. Drawing on experiences from across continents, it explores how farmers organise themselves, how their organisations function, and what enables them to remain representative, effective, and resilient over time. Written for practitioners, leaders, staff, and partners of farmers’ organisations, the book combines practical experience, case studies, and reflections to support learning, exchange, and stronger farmer-led institutions.
