Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar

AgriCord is a global alliance of agri-agencies mandated by farmers' organisations and their cooperative businesses from countries in Africa, Asia, Canada, the European Union, and Latin America.

AgriCord was set up early 2002, after a 5-year period of gestation, and formally created in the beginning of 2003 by eight agri-agencies: AFDI (France), AGRITERRA (Netherlands), DAC (Denmark), IDACA (Japan), IVA (Belgium), FERT (France), NORGES VEL (Norway) and UPA-DI (Canada). 

The vision of Agricord is to foster the economic viability of farming activities, aimed at improving the livelihood conditions of farmers, their families and the rural communities they work and live in and strengthening the contribution of the farming community – through strong farmers’ organisations s - to tackling the global and local challenges.

The mission of AgriCord is to promote and help to build other farmers’ organisations and cooperatives of family farmers.
