Serving the Farmers of the World

The Secretariat is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations and activities of the Organisation from its headquarters in Rome, Italy, and supporting the implementation of the mandate defined by WFO’s members.

Led by the Secretary General, the Secretariat works in close collaboration with the President and the Board of Directors to ensure the effective implementation of WFO’s strategic direction. It provides continuity, institutional memory, and professional expertise to deliver on the priorities set by the membership.

The Secretariat is composed of a dedicated, multidisciplinary team that supports the Organisation across all areas – from policy and advocacy to communications, membership engagement, project coordination, and internal operations – all aimed at amplifying the voice of farmers and enhancing WFO’s global impact.
