This is the virtual community space for the Financing Agrochemical Reduction and Management (FARM) Programme. 

FARM is a five year project; its objective is to catalyze a framework for regulatory and financial investment in the agriculture sector to detoxify the sector by eliminating the use of the most harmful inputs to food production systems.

In particular, FARM seeks to reduce the use of harmful pesticides and plastics in agricultural production and encourage the adoption of low and non-chemical alternatives. It pursues this through three pathways:

• Policy and enforcement
• Financing and investment
• Knowledge sharing and value chain engagement

This group is intended to connect those interested in FARM's objectives and be a space for interaction, collaboration, and learning. 

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) funded FARM programme is led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and is implemented by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). Execution is carried out in-country by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and relevant country institutions in Ecuador, India, Kenya, Lao PDR, the Philippines, Uruguay and Viet Nam, and at a global level by the Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP).
