Head of the United Nations International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), Kanayo F. Nwanze, has said that investing in rural youth in developing countries is vital to eradicating poverty in those communities and ensuring global food security.
The IFAD President told delegates to the Fund's annual meeting, which opened in Rome, that supporting young women and men is critical to building vibrant rural economies, which in turn is key to overcoming larger challenges such as reducing hunger and poverty, mitigating climate change, achieving energy security and protecting the environment.
