IFAD

Keep up to date with the challenges faced by the people who grow our food. 

Two billion people work on small farms in developing countries. By 2050, these farmers will need to grow 60% more food for the 9.5 billion people that will be on the planet. But with scarce resources and changing weather patterns, how will they do it? Watch their stories, hear their challenges, witness the changes.

IFAD - the International Fund for Agricultural Development - is a specialized agency of the United Nations. We work with poor rural populations in developing countries to eliminate poverty, hunger and malnutrition; raise their productivity and incomes; and improve the quality of their lives.
