A useful measure for creating awareness can be to offer seminars or workshops in the most central organizations and institutions in the country with regard to Farmers' Rights.

Creating awareness sector wise can be done by inviting representatives from the various relevant organizations and institutions within each of the sectors pertaining to Farmers' Rights to sector wise workshops and/or seminars. This can be done at the national and/or regional level, depending on the size of the country and available resources.

Creating awareness across sectors can be done by inviting representatives from the central organizations and institutions in each of the sectors pertaining to Farmers' Rights to cross sector workshops and/or seminars. This can be done at the national and/or regional level, depending on the size of the country and available resources.

Creating awareness through the media is a means to reach out to broader target groups, such as farmers (with access to TV, radio or newspapers/magazines), consumers, various interest groups and stakeholders, and the public at large.

The means for creating awareness are probably only limited by our fantasy.

The awareness of Farmers' Rights and their importance for food security and poverty eradication is marginal in most countries.

A broad based consultative process should ensure participation from all central stakeholder groups, from all regions of the country, from different ethnic groups (if relevant), from men and women.

A good starting point for a national consultative process is creating or enhancing awareness on the importance of Farmers' Rights. The more operational parts of the consultative process can be designed as a series of workshops/seminars leading towards a framework for implementation of Farmers' Rights, and if required, monitoring such implementation.

Here, possible contents of a core workshop on the design of a national framework for implementation of Farmers' Rights are outlined. This is based on the workshop module prepared for that purpose, and further details can be found there. The outline below may however also serve as points of inspiration to develop an own workshop program, or program for the workshop series.

In most countries of the world institutions and people involved in Farmers' Rights are few and resources scarce. Thus, joining forces and pooling resources for the realization of Farmers' Rights are vital. This means that all stakeholders are invited to join forces and pool resources, including stakeholders that have traditionally not been thought of as allies in terms of Farmers' Rights.

During the controversies over farmers’ rights over the past decades, two rationales have been prevalent: the 'stewardship' and 'ownership' approaches.
