UNFF Major Group Focal Points
The UNFF facilitates a Major Group focal point system with focal points from each of the major groups:
- Business and industry
- Children and youth
- Farmers and small landowners
- Indigenous peoples
- Local authorities
- Non-governmental organisations (NGOs)
- Scientific and technological community
- Women

This focal point system is intended to be a fluid, flexible mechanism to help facilitate coordination, planning and discussion on UNFF-related issues within and between major group networks. If you are interested in participating in UNFF discussions on behalf of your major group, please contact your relevant UNFF focal point.
