IFDC projects focus on increasing food security and agricultural productivity in developing countries through the development and transfer of effective and environmentally sound crop nutrient technology and agribusiness expertise. The Center’s work ranges from sector studies and long-term planning to the design, implementation and management of field projects in fertilizer production; development, evaluation and use of indigenous agro-minerals; policy, market and value chain development; and natural resource management.
IFDC works closely with farmers, agro-input dealers and output traders, the private sector, local organizations and developing country institutions to achieve sustainable impacts that last long after projects end.
