National Federation of Agri-Food and Forestry

The National Federation of Agri-Food and Forestry (French: Fédération nationale agroalimentaire et forestière, FNAF) is a trade union representing agricultural, forestry, and food industry workers in France.

The federation was founded in 1981, when the National Federation of Agricultural Workers (FNTA) merged with the Food Federation.[1] The FNTA's former leader, Jacques Potavin, became general secretary of the new union.[2] Like its predecessors, the federation affiliated to the General Confederation of Labour.

In 2008, the Tobacco and Match Workers' Federation merged into FNAF.[3] By 2019, the union had 22,701 members.[4]
