Over the past 40 years, RDI’s work in more
than 40 developing countries has proved to be a great social investment,
bringing huge returns on each dollar contributed. More than 100 million farm families worldwide — representing well over 400 million people — have received land rights. That means that nearly one out of every sixteen people on the planet has been helped by RDI. This change—from land insecurity to land ownership—has boosted agricultural productivity in the developing world by billions of dollars per year, and placed scores of billions of dollars in new land wealth in the hands of the rural poor.
