About IFDC
IFDC is a public international organization that operates in 27 countries in Africa, Asia, and America. IFDC is one of a kind when it comes to tackling global food security and poverty. It does this by connecting research with real-world applications. It does this by utilizing innovative scientific ideas, the growth of complete market systems, supportive government policies, and strategic partnerships to assist farmers and countries in finding and implementing long-lasting farming solutions, like more efficient use of nutrients.
These strategies are required to improve soil health and crop output while minimizing the environmental impact of fertilizer use. IFDC puts research into practice by implementing locally driven, environmentally responsible, and impact-oriented solutions. We work with our partners to shrink the yield gap, eliminate global hunger, protect the soil on which our lives rely, and build economic resilience in agricultural households and the countries where they live.
IFDC is now looking for passionate individuals to join its team as the organization grows its impact and works to make positive changes in agriculture and sustainable soil management around the world.
