Until the liquidation in November 2010 of the International Federation of Agricultural Producers (IFAP) Agriterra worked closely together with IFAP. The world farmer’s organisation represented 112 national organisations in 87 countries. It was a global network in which farmers from industrialized and developing countries exchange concerns and set common priorities. We considered the international federation as an important element in our agricultural development cooperation. By advocating farmers' interests and influencing policy at the international level, IFAP would work on improving the position of farmers in developing countries. Until 2010 Agriterra supported IFAP financially in carrying out her work.
