In a joint statement, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), Mars Inc. and World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) said they have launched a five-year research-in-development project that seeks to explore environmentally sustainable ways to link small-scale producers to global supply chains.
