The voices and faces of our agricultural heritage
December 19, 2025

The world's agricultural heritage is sustained by the voices and faces of farmers, fishers, and herders globally. For millennia, these women and men have preserved our agricultural legacy, using traditional knowledge, creativity, and innovation to produce food while caring for the land, air, and water that sustain us.

Let's celebrate these vital people and honor the traditions that feed our future. Learn more about Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) at fao.org/giahs/en.
