The mandate of the World Bank Group is to help its clients reduce poverty and improve living standards through sustainable, broad-based growth and investment in people. Sustainable rural development can make a powerful contribution to four critical goals: 1. Poverty reduction 2. Widely shared growth 3. Household, national, and global food security 4. Sustainable natural resource management. The Bank's objectives of poverty reduction, widely shared growth, food security, and sus tainable natural resources management cannot be met unless rural development in general, and a thriving agricultural economy in particu lar, are nurtured and improved. This premise is at the core of the recommended strategy for improving the rural economy.
