WorldFMC Academy

HOME > WHAT WE DO

The WorldFMC Academy is a vibrant hub for our global farmers market community, a place to connect, learn, and grow. Designed for members, advocates, and strategic partners, the Academy equips everyone with the tools, insights, and best practices needed to strengthen farmers markets and integrate them into global food systems. Our offerings are diverse and flexible: on-demand courses, interactive live workshops, virtual and in-person labs, affinity groups, and a rich library of resources shared by members from around the world.

While farmers markets operate in diverse cultural, political, and economic contexts, they share more in common than what sets them apart. Our members, spanning every continent, bring invaluable expertise and practical know-how to the table.

The Academy’s goal is simple: provide a space to convene, collaborate, and co-create. Here, knowledge is collected, organized, adapted, and translated, not just across languages, but for every contextL, so new ideas can flourish.

Join us, share your experience, and help shape the future of farmers markets worldwide.
