The agreement to establish IFAD in 1976 resulted from the 1974 World Food Conference organized by the international community in response to the persistence of widespread hunger and malnutrition in the world. The conference recognized that hunger and food insecurity should not be associated solely with shortfalls in food production and supply at national or international levels. Rather, they should be understood as products of deep-seated structural problems associated with underdevelopment and poverty, espe- cially as these affect rural poor people. IFAD approved its first loan for a project in 1978.
