Descripción
The following series of flyers highlights the work being carried out by FAO's Strategic Programmes. This flyer is specifically on "Strategic Programme 3: Reduce Rural Poverty".
Despite progress made in reducing poverty, over 2 billion people still live in poverty, 736 million of which live in extreme poverty. A large majority live in rural areas and depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. These communities often lack income to buy food and access to resources, services, technologies, markets and economic opportunities to exit poverty. A multi-dimensional approach is needed including increasing agricultural productivity, economic diversification, social protection and creating jobs.
