Yet, it is often rural people who go hungry. With the right support, they can grow more, earn more and eat better. Investing in rural people = investing in global food security.

Accessing financial services is key for small-scale farmers. Too often though, systemic inequalities often lead to rural women being left out. In #GuineaBissau, IFAD & the @TheOPECFund are supporting rural women to establish their own financial structures. Take a look ⤵️
