INTERNATIONAL FUND FOR AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT

The International Fund for Agricultural Development was established in 1977 to finance agricultural development projects; primarily for food production to combat rural hunger to enable the rural poor to overcome their poverty in developing countries      This UN specialized agency responds to insight from the 1974 World Food Conference that causes of food insecurity and famine are not so much failures in food production as they are structural problems relating to poverty and to the fact that a majority of the developing world's poor populations are concentrated in rural areas     IFAD target groups are the poorest of the world's people: Small farmers, the rural landless, nomadic pastoralists, artisanal fisherfolk, indigenous people and, across all groups, poor rural women
