Rural, agri development are key to ending poverty – IFAD

Rural and agricultural development, more than just GDP growth as shown by the numbers, is the key to eliminating poverty in developing countries, according to a new global study released this month by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) today.

The Rural Development Report 2016, IFAD’s flagship publication, characterized itself as “a rallying call” to policymakers and development advocates “to win the global war against poverty.”
