Rural Liberians are transforming agriculture and changing lives
Small-scale farmers and rural entrepreneurs in Liberia are not only boosting their own incomes, but also fighting for all Liberians to access locally produced and nutritious food.
Amid mounting global challenges, ending hunger by 2030 remains stubbornly out of reach. In East and Southern Africa, IFAD is working to get back on track by investing in the people who produce a third of the world’s food: small-scale farmers.
