The General Assembly: A Democratic Voice for Global Farmers

The General Assembly is the highest decision-making body of the World Farmers’ Organisation (WFO), composed of all full members. It convenes once a year, bringing together representatives from across the membership to review progress, set priorities, and shape the future of the Organisation.

It plays a central role by electing the President and the Board of Directors, and by approving WFO’s strategic direction, policy positions, and financial decisions.

More than a formal body, the General Assembly is a testament to the global farming community’s commitment to democratic, consensus-based decision-making.

Farmers listen to each other and learn from each other, no matter where they are from. Through open and respectful dialogue, they bridge geographical and cultural differences to find common ground and reach consensus on the most critical issues in agriculture.
