The Link Between Poverty and Hunger
THE LINK BETWEEN POVERTY & HUNGER Of the 1.4 billion living in poverty, 1.0 billion live in rural areas where FARMING is the main source of subsistence diets. NEARLY 1 IN 8 PEOPLE EXPERIENCE CHRONIC HUNGER. THAT'S 870 MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE. IFDC is working to bring these farmers out of a cycle of poverty into a cycle of prosperity through greater access to modern agro-inputs and farming practices and the development of better-functioning agricultural markets.
