Rural development is about more than just geography; it's about tackling poverty, equity, food security and sustainability. DYK that 80% of the food we eat comes from family farms? Yet, 8 out of 10 of the world’s poorest people live in rural areas, surviving on just $2.15 a day. Today's World Rural Development Day is a call to action to renew the world’s collective promise: to leave no one behind even in the most remote places on 🌍. | United Nations Development Programme - UNDP
