About Us - Overview
The Field Alliance is a new
organisation with a long history.
For a period of 20 years,
the Regional IPM Programme, under the auspices of the UN
Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), played a prominent role in
capacity-building for sustainable agriculture in Asia.
What began as a pest control
project became an umbrella for farmer led experimentation, training, organising
and advocacy in a range of production issues (pests, soils, seeds, water) and
community health, rural education, and farmers’ rights.
The vision, methods and
expertise that drove the Regional IPM Programme are now the basis for an
independent foundation dedicated to the empowerment of Asian farmers.
