| Abstract | The goals IFDC are to combat global poverty, promote economic growth, end hunger, and safeguard the environment. With the goal of improving and sustaining the lives and livelihoods of underprivileged communities around the world, IFDC combines state-of-the-art research and development. The organization's specialties are in research, market development, and training, which allow for the creation and execution of customized programs to meet regional demands and difficulties. The eight theme programs of IFDC, which serve as the cornerstone of its operations, are summarized in this paper. Institutional Development, Fertilizer Materials, Soil and Nutrient Dynamics, Integrated Intensification, Input Accessibility, Policy and Market, and Human Capacity Building are some of these programs. Every program has a distinct purpose and advances the IFDC's objective of improving agricultural productivity in a sustainable manner. The goal of the Institutional Development Program is to create and support a private sector that is the engine of agricultural productivity. The program for the development of economic and policy knowledge is designed to foster an environment that is favorable to agricultural markets. The Fertilizer Materials Program creates environmentally friendly production methods and conducts research on effective fertilizer use. By increasing nutrient utilization and soil fertility, the Soil and Nutrient Dynamics Program seeks to promote food and fiber production. To improve fertilizer efficiency and reduce environmental concerns, the Integrated Intensification Program encourages the use of Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) technology. Adopting technology packages and making institutional adjustments are among the regional-level solutions for managing soil fertility that are the focus of the Input Accessibility Program. In order to increase soil fertility, the Policy and Market Program aims to create favorable policies and socioeconomic settings. Finally, in order to improve agricultural competitiveness globally, the Human Capacity Building Program highlights the significance of education, skill development, and training. With technology transfer operations in more than 130 countries and training programs that support the development of institutional and human resource capacity in 150 nations, IFDC has a proven track record. The organization has developed the Integrated Soil Fertility Management package, introduced cutting-edge fertilizer technology, and established successful private-sector agricultural systems. | |
