It's about the people / On September 25th, 193 world leaders will come together to commit to 17 Sustainable Development Goals that could end extreme poverty and hunger by 2030. We want the world to know that the poor and hungry people living in rural areas are essential to solving some of the world's most pressing problems. Rural people, when given the right tools and opportunities to thrive as smallholder farmers, are critical to ending poverty, feeding the world and protecting the planet.
