According to the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science and Culture (OEI), rural development seeks to respond to three basic needs to make a sustainable future possible. Improve the training and well-being of those people who live in rural areas (close to half of the world population), eradicating extreme poverty and avoiding their migration towards the marginalization of the periphery of cities. Achieve sustainable agricultural production to ensure that all human beings have access to the food they need. Protect and conserve the capacity of the natural resource base to continue to provide production, environmental and cultural services.
