Welcome
Award-winning short film: “A New Day”
Rome, 4 July 2023 - Small-scale farmers in developing countries produce one third of the world’s food. But today they are only one flood, one drought or one failed harvest away from ruin.
To stem the impact of ClimateChange on food security and to reduce poverty, IFAD is calling for more investment in rural communities - now!
Greater financing can unlock a better future. With this, rural people can lead climate action and their own development.
Tomorrow is a new day. What will it look like?
