> PARAGRAPHS ON FOOD CRISIS - DRAFT
>
> At a time where the world is confronted by a serious food crisis, we, as
> women active in the global call to action against poverty, affirm that the
> world's raising problem of hunger is not a problem of production but of
> access to food, as there is a surplus in food resources. Beyond economic
> trends, climatic or protectionist factors that have an important impact on
> the current crisis, the main problem of this food crisis is the lack of
> access to land and properties and consequently to food, particularly among
> rural and indigenous women and household heads.
>
> This situation is worsened when neutral policies are implemented that
> underestimate and ignore the role and contribution of rural and indigenous
> women in food production and through development strategies that have no
> gender perspective, with a negative impact on women's living conditions and
> their possibilities of contributing to food production and rural, local and
> regional development.
>
> Since our inception, as FTF we have been advocating to put an end to the
> structural and macroeconomic policies implemented during the last 30 years
> under the leadership of the international financial institutions (IMF, WB,
> IDB and the WTO); we have called for a reform of these institutions so that
> the economy becomes a tool to support the fulfilment of the needs and
> aspiration of human beings and not in end in itself that only aims at
> obtaining profit for the few.
>
> We have therefore called and continue to encourage governments around the
> world, together with a broad spectrum of women's organisations, to establish
> national agricultural budgets with a gender perspective and with sufficient
> funds allocation; to take into consideration the experience, role,
> responsibility and rights of men and women according to age and ethnicity;
> to secure women's access to tenure of land and the necessary resources and
> credit to work that land; to develop and support programmes and actions
> based on traditional knowledge, particularly in what refers to conservation
> and exchange of native seeds; for industrialised countries to reach the
> 1970s commitment to allocate 0.7% of their GDP to Official Development Aid
> (ODA) and moreover they should commit to reach 10% of ODA for gender
> equality and women's empowerment by 2010 and 20% by 2015.
>
> We believe that the current food, financial and climate crisis are
> interlinked and that our demands to overcome each of them is a demand to
> build a just and sustained economic, social and cultural system where the
> knowledge, practice and care of women are to be seen as examples that can
> provide solutions to those problems and must receive financial support from
> governments and international agencies.
