After France and Norway announced their highest-ever financial contributions to the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) yesterday, preceded by Spain's pledge of a four-fold increase last week, IFAD President Alvaro Lario is calling on leaders to urgently follow suit in response to growing global food insecurity, intractable poverty and the intensifying impacts of climate change on some of the world's poorest small-scale farmers and rural populations. France's President, Emmanuel Macron, announced a record US$ 150 million pledge to IFAD's 13 th replenishment (2025-2027) at the Global Citizen Festival in New York on Saturday, representing a +60% increase in euro terms.
