Agricultural
Development in the Fight against Poverty.
Around the world, 1 in 4 people struggle to access or afford a healthy and nutritious diet. This fact is even more devastating given that the world produces more than enough food to feed the entire planet, but one-third of the food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted. Investments in good agricultural practices and improving supply chains have the potential to address these global failures. In addition, bad agricultural practices can unnecessarily increase greenhouse gas emissions with the negative impacts of climate change most likely to harm the poor.

- 40% of post-harvest crops are spoiled or lost in developing countries due to inefficient processing and supply chain
