IFDC—An International Center for Soil Fertility and Agricultural Development — has held 660 workshops, study tours, and training programs for 8,550 participants from 150 countries since 1974. The programs have covered a wide range of subjects including fertilizer marketing, production, distribution and handling, and numerous specialized topics.

In recent years, related courses on integrated soil fertility management, computer modeling and simulation, policy and environmental issues related to the production, marketing and use of agricultural inputs have attracted participants from around the world.
A nonprofit, public, international organization, IFDC also conducts a range of specialized training and study tours in the United States and elsewhere tailored to the specific requirements of individual companies and organizations.
