Indigenous people play important role in fighting poverty and hunger - IFAD

The importance of traditional knowledge in ending poverty and hunger is being highlighted in Rome at what has been called a "unique global gathering".

The International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD) says it is bringing together participants who represent more than 370 million self-identified indigenous peoples.

The two-day forum, which started on Thursday, will highlight indigenous population's role in achieving sustainable development.
