Lennart Bage, President, International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)
"There are an estimated 370 million indigenous peoples worldwide. They are 5% of the world’s population, but represent 15% of the world’s poor. In China as well, government figures show absolute poverty rates among ethnic minorities three times the national average. Put simply, indigenous people and ethnic minorities are among the poorest in the world."
