THANK YOU
IFDC is a proactive institution.
We address emerging global
issues. With the world’s population
increasing rapidly and an everchanging climate, our work is
needed now more than ever before.
I am confident the organization’s
future efforts will address global
challenges head-on in a unique and
effective way.
IFDC employees, active in more
than 25 nations, are helping farming
families realize food security. Now
numbering 800, we share the latest
scientific and technological tools
with farmers around the globe.
Thank you all, past and present, for
your dedication and creativity in
carrying out our mission of a foodsecure world. Thank you to our
Board of Directors for your counsel
and guidance whenever I needed
it. And last but no the least, thank
you to our donors and partners for
sustaining our efforts.
I am grateful to my family who, in
spite of my long absences from
home for important occasions,
have continued to support me. In
addition, the support of friends, staff
and the Shoals community made my
work and IFDC’s work possible.
All of us have traveled this journey
together to get IFDC where it is
today. Our successes have been
rooted in our commitments to ethics
and integrity. I am confident that
you will take IFDC to new heights of
achievement under new leadership.
I wish you all the best, and bid
you farewell.
